[01/27/17 12:28:48 PM] Epstein: Hillary loves Kathy as does Obama. She is an arch feminist who is my great defender
[01/27/17 12:33:34 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Not sure individuals can influence once impressions are made. But I will try.
I do not know for sure but I do think he would be unwilling to Bring it up with her.
[01/27/17 12:36:50 PM] Epstein: <Unsupported Message Content>
[01/27/17 12:36:50 PM] Epstein: She's 45 and is in Seattle often
[01/27/17 12:37:15 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Me too.
[01/27/17 12:38:00 PM] Melanie Walker (?): What a coincidence ha ha If there is a reason to meet other than to discuss
you that would be compelling I can try directly To Melinda's office team I know some of them.
[01/27/17 12:38:24 PM] Melanie Walker (?): I probably would have to meet this person first since her team doesn't
usually appreciate second hand introductions
[01/27/17 12:38:53 PM] Epstein: Ok
[01/27/17 12:38:56 PM] Melanie Walker (?): They also feel like they find the ppl they want to speak to and not vice
Versa Or at least that's my experience firsthand
[01/27/17 12:39:03 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Poor B
[01/27/17 12:39:52 PM] Melanie Walker (?): If there's an opportunity to promote something specific I can propose to her
pivotal ventures team.
[01/27/17 12:55:32 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Have been thinking that o bet there is a way to make her feel great and maybe
a little happy if there was a like female TED that she could be the patron of - folks would love that and it would allow
her to be at the center of some Powerful agendas that she cares a lot about But not sure she's up for it or even how to
do it
[01/27/17 12:56:27 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Like maybe a legacy "I'm with Her" that she and Hillary Clinton could co own
and build out over many years
[01/27/17 12:56:41 PM] Melanie Walker (?): They could brand and sponsor cool Stuff and empower a lot of people
[01/27/17 12:57:15 PM] Melanie Walker (?): None of my business but I think there's enough happiness out there for
everyone
[01/27/17 08:22:52 PM] Epstein: ???

[01/28/17 11:42:19 AM] Epstein: BAck to ?

[02/17/17 02:29:33 PM] Melanie Walker (?): On jawbone - Steve says consider and possible good things w strong voices
around hosain. Steve sometimes had very good insight. Sounds like your experience lousy and Company in big trouble
[02/17/17 02:29:35 PM] Melanie Walker (?): But
[02/17/17 02:30:58 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Middle East is perfect perfect to test clinical wearables (due to no legal or
policy restrictions) and also to experiment w remote telemetry (don't have to leave home / great for gender issues
there)
[02/17/17 02:31:49 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Clinical wearables market is 50x bigger financially than consumer wearables /
way better margins and also ready for major distribution
[02/17/17 02:31:56 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Disruption not distribution
[02/17/17 02:32:05 PM] Epstein: Ok
[02/17/17 02:32:55 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Food for thought I guess we have to see what hosain does in coming weeks and
months He's well positioned - hope he doesn't drop the ball. Sad to hear he's not honest. Steve says he's a hustler.

thought and he NEVER says that. You know STEVIE. He says no to everything.

[02/18/17 10:30:30 AM] Melanie Walker (?): http://people.irisa.fr/Stephanie.Delaune/transparents/Annee2013/po.pdf
[02/18/17 10:30:31 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Also good
[02/18/17 02:35:05 PM] Melanie Walker (?): GENIUS IDEA Now to convince bill
[02/18/17 02:36:02 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Do you think there is a way to do this really well and also get something for
BG? Like if we say do this and the admin will keep PEPFAR or something like that
[02/18/17 02:36:25 PM] Epstein: yes and more
[02/18/17 02:36:34 PM] Epstein: its a deal
[02/18/17 02:36:39 PM] Epstein: thats what he likes
[02/18/17 02:37:46 PM] Epstein: he said malaria and polio not an american problem. climate change and eboloa not a
american problem nor is clean water or genital mutilation. he thinks bill should stop trying to scare people .ike
chicken little.
[02/18/17 02:40:26 PM] Melanie Walker (?): PEPFAR is HIV AIDS
[02/18/17 02:40:36 PM] Epstein: aids is partially an american problem. as is drug abuse.
[02/18/17 02:40:51 PM] Melanie Walker (?): OK let's keep thinking BG likes deals too
[02/18/17 02:41:13 PM] Melanie Walker (?): PEPFAR was a george bush/republican thing
[02/18/17 02:41:35 PM] Melanie Walker (?): It's the only one of the international health things the republicans all seem
to support
[02/18/17 02:41:43 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Trump even kept the obama person running it
[02/18/17 02:42:16 PM] Melanie Walker (?): If he could be convinced to keep PEPFAR as is in exchange for cyber i think
we would all win
[02/18/17 02:44:41 PM] Epstein: bill needs to focus on american problems first and foremost , if he wants deals. he can
also portray certain worldwide iniativies as buying american drugs etc. IT MUST have an american component. donald says
it is childish to count the lives at risk in africa and make believe you are doing something for america. or pakistan
afhhntan, etc. he points to 8500 killed in chicago vs 2500 killed in afganistan over the past 10 years.
[02/18/17 02:45:00 PM] Melanie Walker (?): I understand
[02/18/17 02:45:23 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Bills advisory team at fndn all pushing in other direction
[02/18/17 02:45:37 PM] Melanie Walker (?): At c3 I can try to reposition Just until I get thrown out
[02/18/17 02:46:01 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Wish there was a way for him to have a real Conversation
[02/18/17 02:46:10 PM] Epstein: I sent bill a note to suggest he talk to lauder. donald also thinks bill wants not to
help america first , he should use his own money, and even that is wrong as it was made here. just transmitting
[02/18/17 02:47:19 PM] Melanie Walker (?): I think trump should enforce tax laws and now allow gates fndn (American) to
spend money overseas tax free
[02/18/17 02:48:10 PM] Epstein: number of lives saved per dollar amount is not in donalds mind, it must be american
lives saved, and yes, good idea on tax
[02/18/17 02:48:31 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Right now there are funny loopholes we figured out how to exploit
[02/18/17 02:48:50 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Like exercising expenditure responsibility on foreign grants so we could
still count as charitable
[02/18/17 02:49:15 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Or giving to UN or international orgs but earmarking for polio etc when not a
single dollar ever benefitted USA
[02/18/17 02:49:28 PM] Melanie Walker (?): I know where all those loopholes are bc I helped find them
[02/18/17 02:49:29 PM] Epstein: understood I am good at that , however bill should be careful very careful as donald
could make an example of him using american dollars to help other than america which really needs it. careful
[02/18/17 02:50:22 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Understood
[02/18/17 02:50:57 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Let's make a deal for a few months To push cyber and then get out and help
trump make examples and do better stuff
[02/18/17 02:51:45 PM] Melanie Walker (?): BG has already made too many commitments and he did it based on his
foundation but counting on leveraging and influencing us Gov't
[02/18/17 02:52:09 PM] Melanie Walker (?): If the tax laws are enforced and he is forced to pay on his own and has less,
lord knows how he will react
[02/18/17 02:52:32 PM] Melanie Walker (?): But - cyber is a "let's do now" thing March 15 I see BG next Friday
[02/18/17 02:52:54 PM] Epstein: cyber is great
[02/18/17 02:53:50 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Have to act quickly
[02/18/17 02:54:03 PM] Epstein: yup
[02/18/17 02:54:40 PM] Epstein: you might want to attend kruase conference in tucson on 26th . i can organize
[02/18/17 02:54:54 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Can only do after march 15
[02/18/17 02:55:06 PM] +: But yes after that will do 100%
[02/18/17 03:22:29 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Issue really is about how easy it is For fndns to spend tax dollars of
Americans. Like how generous would they be if they had to spend their own money? Also - 1. All laws that apply to us
foreign policy should be applied to charitable orgs spending us tax dollars. So the global gag rule should apply Across
philanthropic dollars too. If ppl want to spend Personal money they can just Not charitable. This should be done
immediately. 2. Should not be allowed to grant to foreign Gov't w Charitable dollars. That's basically lobbying or a
bribe - charitable money shouldn't be allowed. Relates also to #1 above. 3. If charities want to spend charity dollars
outside us should be required To go through USAid so it isn't being sneaky and on other agendas. 4. USAID should have a
big charity division that does only this for Science and tech.
[02/18/17 03:22:42 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Dont do this till we get cyber last
[02/18/17 03:23:58 PM] Melanie Walker (?): This would bring billions back To USA for social issues
[02/18/17 03:24:03 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Immediately
[02/19/17 11:13:26 AM] Melanie Walker (?): https://dev.commentarymagazine.com/articles/our-miserable-21st-century/

[02/21/17 05:25:30 AM] Melanie Walker: This is one of the other WEF councils ... could ask them
[02/21/17 05:28:14 AM] __________________: No one on council very clever
[02/21/17 05:44:36 AM] Melanie Walker:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/02/19/gates-relate-middle-class-america-say/98139458/
[02/21/17 05:44:36 AM] Melanie Walker: AND THIS --- on gates/as discussed
[02/21/17 08:27:01 AM] Epstein: all good
[02/21/17 11:48:38 AM] Melanie Walker: Seems like a lot of thinking already underway. Still feels a little abstract for
the average American. Need to make this real to average person and also to congress
[02/21/17 11:49:06 AM] Epstein: just you the term PRIVACY of your health info.
[02/21/17 11:50:06 AM] Epstein: only you have the key.
[02/21/17 11:50:07 AM] Melanie Walker: Can we do anything from bills office on that?
[02/21/17 11:50:18 AM] Melanie Walker: I like that A LOT
[02/21/17 11:50:59 AM] Melanie Walker: do you think trump will Come down hard on gates / taxes soon or can he wait till
I'm done there?!?
[02/21/17 11:51:27 AM] Epstein: yes , encryption. , signal processing. . using the best methods to keep your health info
secret. and at the same time helping the country cure disease.
[02/21/17 11:51:55 AM] Melanie Walker: How do I write a short terms of reference
[02/21/17 11:55:17 AM] Melanie Walker: Role: Health and medical technologies Term: 6 months from April 1 Areas of focus:
- Privacy, health data - Consumer health expenditure - neurotechnologies and brain science
[02/21/17 12:24:45 PM] Melanie Walker: I see bill Friday Really want to wait and talk to him before sending Larry terms
Of reference but he is insisting I send sooner
[02/21/17 01:42:17 PM] Epstein: Health security
[02/21/17 01:48:28 PM] Melanie Walker: Some Overlap w fndn but I can try
[02/21/17 02:08:06 PM] Epstein: Yes
[02/21/17 08:42:21 PM] Melanie Walker: Bill says health security works ok but should be tech or digital so everyone
knows I'm not just doing policy - he says "title needs teeth"
[02/22/17 01:27:10 AM] Epstein: Crypto health data
[02/22/17 01:27:57 AM] Epstein: Health data ciphers
[02/22/17 01:28:36 AM] Epstein: Bitcoin health
[02/22/17 04:38:08 AM] Melanie Walker: Cryptohealth is funny. Health security I think best though
[02/22/17 08:22:36 AM] Melanie Walker: Well - Larry called / says he needs to see a "detailed scope, focus and
deliverables" before he can sign off and letting me know he runs the office not bg said no problem!
[02/22/17 08:24:34 AM] Melanie Walker: My guess is that he will hold me To every single word so I need to be strategic
and also somewhat flexible since it's hard to know how things will work If you have some time maybe think of the
deliverables that would be useful and something to be proud of - I will work on all the rest since he wants me to circle
back w all the MSFT and foundation leaders too
[02/22/17 08:24:54 AM] Melanie Walker: Why does bg get kicked around like this? So silly
[02/22/17 08:25:33 AM] Epstein: using the zero knowledge proof concept to keep totally private and secure the personal
health info of the person while the same time being able to use the underlying date to create a usable data base.
[02/22/17 08:26:57 AM] Epstein: either a version of block chain, encryption or personal cloud, protecting the rights of
the people at risk, deliverable, working with cyber security experts to craft a system designed for both security but
access to digitally redacted prersonal info.
[02/22/17 08:27:29 AM] Epstein: see working with the cyber security people as well as hippo.
[02/22/17 08:28:07 AM] Epstein: possibly the next version of a wearable. a sensor that has protected input based on
personal history etc.
[02/22/17 08:29:09 AM] Melanie Walker: Can I do this in 6 months?
[02/22/17 08:29:26 AM] Melanie Walker: It's more Msft Than anything else
[02/22/17 08:30:15 AM] Epstein: yes, its also foundation re sensitive info on one hand and relevant data base creation
and manipulation on the other
[02/22/17 08:31:12 AM] Melanie Walker: More Questions: 1. How can I be public about being the one that is doing this
(surgeon general) and not just handing this off to msft? Publishing? 2. Have you heard of aardhar the Indian biometric
made by Nandan nilekani? Bill loves. Could this be a new type of social security number and used for all types of
identity with health as a single use case?
[02/22/17 08:32:15 AM] Epstein: it has to be run by a doctor and not a computer scientist\
[02/22/17 08:32:18 AM] Melanie Walker: If i do something great I want ppl to Know I'm involved. It's been hard being the
one to do stuff and others get credit.
[02/22/17 08:32:23 AM] Melanie Walker: Ok
[02/22/17 08:33:22 AM] Epstein: director of the cryptographic health data initiaive
[02/22/17 08:34:51 AM] Melanie Walker: https://www.google.com/patents/US7270633
[02/22/17 08:36:18 AM] Epstein: interesting but too tech and not on point
[02/22/17 08:39:28 AM] Melanie Walker: No I mean that is the only patent I could find associated with those exact
keywords

[02/23/17 08:32:59 PM] Epstein: You are important
[02/23/17 08:33:14 PM] Melanie Walker: Thank you for caring
[02/23/17 08:33:48 PM] Melanie Walker: I got a pretty big award (nominated by the folks at Hopkins) and have to make a
speech in Philadelphia on Monday and I'm so nervous
[02/23/17 08:34:06 PM] MEMMEMMEMMEM: Working like crazy on my speech and bill is gonna help me tomorrow night
[02/23/17 08:35:06 PM] Melanie Walker: They want me to give a "personal" account of what you can do with medical
training - blah feels Scary and gross to give the talk At first I called it "don't do what I did"
[02/23/17 08:35:44 PM] Melanie Walker: But i was reading this terrific feynman book called "perfectly reasonable
deviations from the beaten path" so I'm calling it that
[02/23/17 08:37:16 PM] Melanie Walker: Helps to think about this instead of Larry and Melinda Let's talk tmr I have to
respond to the gates fndn legal team on my separation package that Melinda is personally managing because "I am so
valuable and a role model for other women" that they want to be super "generous" and "respectful" Talk tmr can't think
about it anymore
[02/23/17 08:41:04 PM] Epstein: Desperation from what? Is she firing you from foundation and bill giving you a six month
pre retirement at bc3
[02/23/17 08:41:20 PM] Melanie Walker: Pretty much
[02/23/17 08:41:42 PM] Melanie Walker: She has been trying for years
[02/23/17 08:41:48 PM] Epstein: That sucks
[02/23/17 08:41:55 PM] Melanie Walker: Bill intervened and said 6 months with him
[02/23/17 08:42:14 PM] Melanie Walker: They say It's not firing
[02/23/17 08:42:28 PM] Melanie Walker: That I've been gone 3 years and the org is a different place

[02/27/17 08:43:42 AM] +: That's not a ToR... I'm starting to realize he just wants to be around someone he enjoys
spending time with. Even if it kills that person ... (=me).

[02/27/17 10:28:19 AM] -: Looks like development budgets will be cut / BG and foundation and UN and USAID and WORLD
BANK. That's good news for America
[03/01/17 04:26:16 AM] Epstein: are we set?

[03/01/17 04:44:44 AM] Epstein: ok
[03/01/17 04:44:52 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Fndn ppl love idea of cyberhealth and asking if there is a way to start there
but use that same privacy and identity to extend to other social services

[03/01/17 04:45:15 AM] Melanie Walker (?): So they will rally
[03/01/17 05:10:11 AM] Epstein: HSN health security number
[03/01/17 05:13:24 AM] Epstein: in fact embed the social number in the new encrypted personal health seciurty number

[OW.. AM] Melanie Walker (?): What now
[03/02/17 10:12:02 AM] -: He's basically saying that all the stuff bill told me to say is already being done by others
and that health care has an advocacy strategy (without this) etc etc
[03/02/17 10:12:45 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Should I reply Larry only and copy bill and say great looking forward to the
conversation or just have a bunch more conversations or what? It's getting ridiculous
[03/02/17 10:13:41 AM] -_________________: And --- arianna huffington just stated a new org called THRIVE with money
from folks like jack ma etc. She's a great advocate and supporter of women and could be a good place for me to consider

[03/03/17 08:23:24 AM] -_________________: Roger that Larry is still playing games and bill is still squeezing me
[03/03/17 08:23:30 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Lord have mercy
[03/03/17 08:24:08 AM] Epstein: not sure why you don't just appease larry. as he is the bottleneck, it is silly. you
continue to be jerks around
[03/03/17 08:24:31 AM] Epstein: what you put on paper is ONLY to get in, stop wasting time.
[03/03/17 08:24:41 AM] Melanie Walker (?): That's what I told bill
[03/03/17 08:24:46 AM] -: Yes you are right
[03/03/17 08:24:54 AM] Melanie Walker (?): 7
[03/03/17 08:25:01 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Usually always you are right
[03/03/17 02:40:56 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Larry keeps sending me these vicious text messages
[03/03/17 02:41:42 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Time to just keep him and bill on the same email. No games. At least, no
games from me.

ill-transform-how?frsc=dg%7Cc
[03/04/17 03:32:51 PM] Epstein: Funding NIH grants ?
[03/04/17 03:36:40 PM] Melanie Walker (?): That is built around peer review and the incumbent networks of power in each
field
[03/04/17 03:37:12 PM] Melanie Walker (?): That's also why smart ppl and ideas are now chasing VC and private equity
instead of grants
[03/04/17 03:39:12 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Have you seen arianna Huffington's new effort? Media driven platform For
health and wellness - money from jack Ma and Jeff Bezos w connections into Amazon and Alibaba She wants to talk to me
Monday and I will be in NYC Might be another path to surgeon general in the sense of being the consumer facing health
and wellness guru - like a more evolved dr oz or Oprah but linked to products Interesting concept
[03/04/17 03:41:56 PM] Melanie Walker (?): She's got reputation and money and the whole thing dedicated to health and
wellness / being on her leadership team and the head doc is cool - jack says I could do Alibaba pop up shops on anything
health wellness and sell a zillion products of whatever kind and also as a doc present the evidence. Bezos could do
something similar on Amazon. Both are outside bill space but he likes them Also - is profitable and builds credibility
towards Americas doctor / Presenting best evidence on products and also education on certain topics (like headaches or
sleep or obesity or whatever) Of course I'm still going to work w bill a few months. But maybe start w her right after
OR SOONER
[03/04/17 03:42:06 PM] Melanie Walker (?): More Monday afternoon
[03/04/17 04:12:38 PM] Epstein: Just left medical advisory. Lots to do . I have zero interest
[03/04/17 04:17:13 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Zero interest in medical advisory? Oh no!
[03/04/17 04:17:47 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Well bill says he has zero interest in doing anything helpful on health or
tech for US until trump stands up on international development and aid
[03/04/17 04:18:27 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Will keep pushing but he says his #1 priority is ODA (overseas development
aid)
[03/04/17 04:19:40 PM] Melanie Walker (?): I told him the tech play is one that he can pull off where everyone wins and
I can help get that started and he says that his "policy package" will depend on what trump does for him ....
[03/04/17 04:21:17 PM] Melanie Walker (?): What did you learn from medical consortium ??? Call me!
[03/04/17 04:27:14 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Bill also says (just spoke to him) that he wants me to do a learning session
for him in the middle East on a their health and health tech
[03/04/17 04:29:42 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Also a lobbyist from k&1 gates wants to speak w me next week about
surgeon general role - he told me that Geoff Ling (darpa) and Raj Shah (USAID and gates now Rockefeller) Both
recommended me and he would like to spend some time w me.
[03/04/17 04:33:47 PM] Epstein: Head of MGh, Cleveland clinic, Hopkins , mayo all working together. I told them about
you
[03/04/17 04:35:42 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Thank you Well glad they are all great institutions and working together
[014 lF7 Oz.:36:03 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Wish BG could get his head around the needs of our country as opposed to
development aid
[03/04/17 04:36:45 PM] _________________: Did you learn anything concrete ? Are they doing digital idea already?
[03/04/17 04:36:54 PM] Melanie Walker (?): Do they have a lead or a strategy?
[03/04/17 04:39:50 PM] Melanie Walker (?): http://m.klgates.comidaniel-f-ritter/
[03/04/1____________/ 04:39:M PM] -: This guy next week
[03/04/17 04:43:21 PM] Epstein: They think everyone should have med records in their phone . Defense dept records

skills and doctor skills and wellness sense to help her build that part of the business - basically a JV w Alibaba.
Bezos is hoping for the same thing

(This is probably a conversation with Melanie Walker (?))
[03/17/17 04:34:29 AM] Epstein: he should tread carefully, as his free spend will likely be reduced to only us entities
. rational explanations do not carry the day. . in the budget as i told you , vet, and mental health. a big big increase
and focus. its the world of the strongmen.
[03/17/17 04:35:02 AM] Epstein: I send bill an email that this is the time for the Giant `DAF. to replace the loss of
govt funding to projects of his concern, its a no brainer.
[03/17/17 04:39:44 AM] Melanie Walker (?): I told him too He could save the day by rallying his American "giving pledge"
folks to rescue some of the closed programs in the USA He could also use his own funds
[03/17/17 04:43:11 AM] Melanie Walker (?): His advisers tell him the budget will look very different when approved, that
his issues are too important to cut (ODA)
[03/17/17 04:45:08 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Polio and PEPFAR etc He is not at all interested in mental health but he may
consider advocating for Alzheimer disease and has no interest in getting involved w vets. He may be a little stuck ...
[03/17/17 04:45:39 AM] Melanie Walker (?): His advisers are all Obama-ites and trump haters. Deeply Entrenched.
[03/17/17 04:49:56 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Are there other billionaires that could step in to help?
[03/17/17 04:52:33 AM] Epstein: Yes, but they have less uber size giving experience
[03/17/17 04:56:33 AM] Melanie Walker (?): How can we make him listen? I feel like David and Goliath!!! :-) His advisers
tell him I'm being disruptive and don't know what I'm talking about
[03/17/17 04:56:44 AM] Melanie Walker (?): And putting him at risk

it is a part of Israel strategy. should know more after i return from paris.-fyi Im told that buy India in reality is
limited to a certain category of things . i.e. many can only be truly made in america. ( with its inherent risks for
back doors. ) IT- yes , jet engines no. however , very enthusiastic over having private biz involved as it is seen to be
much less corrupt than govt; ( please keep in mind , my expertise is money not politics . so I merely transmit things to
you that I'm sure you understand though I might not )
[03/29/17 04:12:41 AM] Epstein: yes I fully understood . what i am told is that discussions re Israel strategy were
dominating modi dates. however lots and lots of internal conflicts taking priority.
[03/29/17 04:17:27 AM] Epstein: as part of your new frankly brilliant strategy, are you a member of any US think tank?

[04/20/17 06:29:02 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Bill Helman has some ideas on how to create a business around this and to
monetize the concepts / plant to human translational research and don't worry he's incredibly discrete. And discreet.
Also Geoff Ling the former head of DARPA and total genius is also my good friend and very supportive - didn't give a ton
of detail but he says he will do whatever or even help run, advise, etc. he knows how to make science fiction science
fact.
[04/20/17 06:34:33 AM] Epstein: both are welcome to our secret society , they will join join joi ito ed boyden and caleb

[04/20/17 06:36:44 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Perfect

[04/20/17 06:38:00 AM] Epstein: go to visit MIT asap. maybe i get you an appt at the media lab
[04/20/17 06:38:08 AM] +: And hes a very very good friend of mine. He tried to make me work at darpa.
[04/20/17 06:38:41 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Oh that would be great! I have to be in seattle w bg from tmr to April 29 but
can go week of May 1
[04/20/17 06:39:33 AM] Melanie Walker (?): So when I went to interview at darpa the woman who was the head (arathi
something can't remember last name) told geoff she couldn't hire someone so gorgeous because it would distract the men
trying to focus on work
[04/20/17 06:40:41 AM] Epstein: i sent bill a note after talking to wash, he is causing them to rethink the charitable
deduction for overseas programs. donald is NOT pragmatic. that takes thinking ability, . he is setting himself up as
part of yesterdays establishment and their perceived mistakes.
[04/20/17 06:40:44 AM] Melanie Walker (?): And it would shift the focus of their thinking from science to sex. She also
told that to Dan wattendorf (almost same Exact words ). Was a gross feeling to be spoken of like that by another woman.
[04/20/17 06:41:08 AM] +: Bill won't believe you
[04/20/17 06:41:45 AM] Melanie Walker (?): He has mark Suzman geoff lamb and the full "development" advisory leadership
that are SO OLD GUARD
[04/20/17 06:42:01 AM] Melanie Walker (?): and they are gargoyles refusing to let other opinions in
[04/20/17 06:42:13 AM] Melanie Walker (?): And when bg goes to see Jared and ivanka they tell Him he is a genius
[04/20/17 06:42:24 AM] Melanie Walker (?): And trump tells him he is a genius to his face
[04/20/17 06:42:47 AM] Epstein: its ok, he will believe it when it happens , and then hear I told you so. trump tells
everyone the exact same thing. exact
[04/20/17 06:43:21 AM] Melanie Walker (?): Bill says 1. Trump will never get the budget cuts through. He claims he's
spoken to senators and that they will fight and that the White House can't unilaterally do a budget like that. 2. He
says trump can't unilaterally change the tax code.
[04/20/17 06:43:55 AM] Melanie Walker (?): 3. He says trump will be in power 3.5 more years or less and that his
foundation has a 30 year life
[04/20/17 06:44:01 AM] Epstein: watch obamare. see what tools he uses
[04/20/17 06:44:09 AM] Melanie Walker (?): I agree w you

[06/30/17 05:23:23 AM] Epstein: Why are you being nice?
[06/30/17 05:48:02 AM] Soon-Yi Previn: I guess because I'm in desperate need of niceness since my daughter isn't nice.

[06/30/17 05:56:40 AM] Soon-Yi Previn: What president has time to tweet about things like this. He should have more
important things on his plate and he shouldn't dignify himself with these stupid tweets. It should be beneath him but
it's not. It's all very disappointing.

France and held for two days. He is alleged to have brought hundreds of millions of euros into France - transporting as
much as 20 million euros at a time in suitcases, in addition to conducting more conventional funds transfers - without
reporting the money to French tax authorities. Kerimov allegedly launders the funds through the purchase of villas.
Kerimov was also accused of failing to pay 400 million euros in taxes related to villas.

[06/13/18 10:26:37 AM] Epstein: Try now?
[06/14/18 06:25:12 AM] Epstein: His reflections in the few days he spent in China also reveal Einstein's tendency to
perceive foreigners as a threat. "It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races," he wrote. "For the
likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary."
[06/14/18 06:30:36 AM] Bannon (?): Bannon's deputy
[06/14/18 08:07:01 AM] Epstein: Did you meet directly with MBZ?
[06/14/18 08:09:05 AM] Bannon (?): Yes always -- why?
[06/14/18 08:10:02 AM] Epstein: No worry, only good

[06/14/18 08:14:09 AM] Epstein: He says stability , power is stability. . they have manpower to Marshall. Push for
robotics, big for genetics. Aging population. . diabetes? Etc . Strategy began 40 years ago. Right on track. . as he
said it is a unified nationalist economic country . Made me smile
[06/14/18 08:14:39 AM] Epstein: And they don't mind suffering to achieve their goals
[06/14/18 08:19:28 AM] Epstein: N.Y. Attorney General Sues Trump Foundation Over Sweeping Violations
[06/14/18 08:19:32 AM] Epstein: It begins
[06/14/18 08:19:54 AM] Bannon (?): Very very very bad
[06/14/18 08:22:43 AM] Epstein: enjoining Mr. Trump from future service as an officer, director or trustee, or in any
other capacity as a fiduciary of any not-for-profit or charitable organization incorporated or authorized to conduct
business in the State of New York, or which solicits charitable donations in the State of New York for a period of ten
years
[06/14/18 08:24:13 AM] Epstein: he Attorney General's Investigation found that the Foundation i s little more than an
empty shell that functions with no oversight by its board of directors. The Foundation, which does not have any
employees, delegated its operations to the accounting office of the Trump Corporation, Inc., a management company owned
by Mr. Trump and located at 725 Fifth Avenue.
[06/14/18 08:54:21 AM] Epstein: Landowski cohen weiselberg. All mentioned
[06/14/18 09:03:23 AM] Bannon (?): Wow
[06/14/18 09:04:06 AM] Epstein: Target the institution. No fifth amendment. Sound familiar
[06/14/18 09:04:21 AM] Epstein:
[06/14/18 09:07:27 AM] Epstein: Weisselberg oy
[06/14/18 09:24:39 AM] Epstein: Footnote on complaint. As you are aware, federal law prohibits executive branch
interference with any audit or investigation you may conduct in response to this referral
[06/14/18 09:40:35 AM] Bannon (?): They are so fucked
[06/14/18 10:14:33 AM] Epstein: And there is an allegation relating to 2013. So as to open the returns. Back to then .
[06/14/18 10:15:07 AM] Bannon (?): Does this now get into his taxes ???
[06/14/18 10:15:17 AM] Epstein: Yes
[06/14/18 10:21:27 AM] Epstein: the simplified argument is that he received an economic benefit that was not reported on
his return. Easy
[06/14/18 02:49:24 PM] Bannon (?): I think we r taking down Merkle

[06/16/18 08:50:14 AM] Bannon (?): ???
[06/16/18 08:51:22 AM] Epstein: To remove the prohibition on indicting a sitting president. , would be exactly the same
as withdrawing the opinion on torture . There is precedent. And ...
[06/16/18 09:07:03 AM] Bannon (?): Will pull
[06/16/18 09:33:54 AM] Epstein: Near the end of the Bush administration, Bradbury signed two memoranda for the files,
explaining that during his tenure, OLC had determined that certain legal propositions previously stated in ten OLC
opinions issued between 2001 and 2003 concerning executive power in the War on Terror no longer reflected the views of
OLC.. Rosenstein can do the same
[06/16/18 11:45:30 AM] Epstein: Also pritzker going to chair a xi , us biz meeting next week, if you would like input or
questions. ?

[06/16/18 11:56:11 AM] Bannon (?): that obvious huh?
[06/16/18 12:04:01 PM] Epstein: I suggested. Offering a working group to look into the issue of how ftt creates
instability . And propose alternatives.
[06/16/18 12:05:38 PM] Bannon (?): That's the ticket
[06/16/18 06:30:57 PM] Epstein: Good luck tomorrow

[06/17/18 08:08:15 AM] Epstein: Would be great to see his head spin around . Good work. Im off to New York. Chat later
or tomorw
[06/17/18 08:10:10 AM] Epstein: One of my favorites. : Replying to @ThisWeekABC @jonkarl Jon Karl was eaten alive by
Bannon. Don't have guests on like Bannon if you don't have an interviewer who can match wits. Bannon is an awful man - a
dishonest man with a reactionary, right-wing agenda. He needs to be interviewed by someone who can challenge him
effectively.
[06/17/18 08:10:31 AM] Epstein: Bingo
[06/17/18 08:11:08 AM] Epstein: Eaten alive

[06/17/18 05:44:50 PM] Bannon (?): ???
[06/17/18 05:46:04 PM] Epstein: author He was fired 10 months ago, but Stephen K. Bannon has won. Truculent,
anti-immigrant nationalism; disdain for the "deep state"; disparaging democratic allies while celebrating dictators:
These are now the pillars of President Trump's rule. In his administration's policy, foreign and domestic, and in the
compliant Republican Party, Bannonism
[06/17/18 05:46:33 PM] Epstein:

I could have been the trump whisperer years ago-- avoided on purpose

overrule a case which had its origins in an administrative ruling made by his own mother.

[07/25/18 02:24:58 PM] Bannon (?): Is that true???
[07/25/18 02:25:11 PM] Bannon (?): The 'soldier '

[07/27/18 04:09:34 AM] Bannon (?): Have u seen the FT this morning
[07/27/18 04:13:37 AM] Epstein: Yes. Ganesh writes well, don jr , perjury. Congress . Matt calamari soon up to bat. .
trump still carrying on re you and Roy Moore. .
[07/27/18 04:16:29 AM] Epstein: I thought that Ganesh got the last paragraph really right. And that contrasts with
dharma ending . The current ending implies the end of relevance. After destruction , almost walking toward the sunset.
As opposed to standing there as the sun RISES
[07/27/18 04:21:48 AM] Epstein: I think you want to project WINNING. As contrasted with always destroying. . there was
little winning in the film. McNamara was portrayed as out of touch. Id like you to be portrayed as the exact opposite.
Really in touch.
[07/27/18 04:22:33 AM] Bannon (?): I'm talking about TODAYs FT?
[07/27/18 04:23:38 AM] Epstein: Sorry, which article

[07/27/18 04:28:54 AM] Epstein: Wasn't as funny as seeing the term " shmucks" in the same paper to describe pensioners.
The jews are getting careless.

the EU-- I need to get serious about taking on soros

[07/27/18 11:45:01 AM] Epstein: the key is to get him to focus more on the arts.
[07/27/18 11:45:53 AM] Bannon (?): George son a goofball-- I want a piece of george
[07/27/18 11:46:31 AM] Epstein: Thats a good thing. . that should be easy as he is falling apart
[07/27/18 11:46:54 AM] Bannon (?): Yes-- need to be the one that takes him down
[07/27/18 11:47:03 AM] Epstein: No shit sherlock
[07/27/18 11:51:21 AM] Epstein: Theres an argument to be made that it takes you out of the blast radius ,. asked today ,
how many people around Donald can have a heart attack the same week and not look suspicious
[07/27/18 11:52:36 AM] Epstein: Maybe its like those cruise ship diseases. Or a new form of legionaire disease where the
entire staff is incapacitated. Like on those cheap cruises
[07/27/18 11:56:12 AM] ___________________: LOL
[07/28/18 02:31:03 AM] Epstein: Great idea to do Hannity every week. attention. . very clever. . FT article got wide

[07/28/18 02:47:15 AM] Bannon (?): U think doing fox weekly smart???
[07/28/18 03:01:37 AM] Epstein: Yes but.. Europe needs to feel love . Not sure how you balance
[07/28/18 03:25:26 AM] Epstein: Also with so much shit about to come out , your credibility must be paramount
[07/28/18 03:30:15 AM] Bannon (?): I balance by getting there on the ground
[07/28/18 03:33:42 AM] Epstein: Agreed, do you do some Hannity from Europe, or back and forth
[07/28/18 04:05:32 AM] Bannon (?): I can do Hannity from Europe
[07/28/18 05:11:15 AM] Epstein: Its not what I understand. I might wonder if it is possible to do two ground games
simultaneously . Telling some to ring doorbells and get out the vote while you are in Europe should be carefully
considered.
[07/28/18 05:57:50 AM] Epstein: Note, I spoke with the president of Ethiopia and Eritrea , they have agreed not to do
any more work with the Chinese. ! as they now understand the trick. In fact there is a possiblitiy of the two countries
becoming one.
[07/28/18 05:58:24 AM] Epstein: Even better than high tariffs
[07/28/18 05:58:48 AM] Bannon (?): Wow!!!
[07/28/18 06:00:18 AM] Epstein: When the govt changed hands they found all these Chinese " loans. " etc. designed to
create ownership through the side door
[07/28/18 06:01:23 AM] Bannon (?): East India Company strategy
[07/28/18 06:01:35 AM] Epstein: Yup.
[07/28/18 06:02:33 AM] Epstein: old strategy however once again. Doesn't work with internet and instant sharing of info
[07/28/18 06:02:51 AM] Bannon (?): Agree
[07/28/18 06:04:56 AM] Epstein: Whether it be Donald , Cohen pecker they play by the rules of the 80s. As you said the
land that time forgot. - don jr was advised to take five in front of the senate , daddy said no.

[07/31/18 03:46:17 AM] Epstein: i guess it would be cruel to point out that the only reason for their position is davids
dementia. I would find it funny , but not many others would
[07/31/18 03:49:26 AM] Epstein: btw as i said turkish lira weak !! nov 2016

[07/31/18 03:50:54 AM] Epstein: he now sits in his living room. turning the lights on and off, as that is the only thing
he is able to control. drives his nurses crazy
[07/31/18 03:53:20 AM] Epstein: persia was a cultured place. super smart. it died like the city of atlantis . It is
Iran.

[07/31/18 04:07:26 AM] Epstein: hasn't pointed out assasinations to overthrow govts . . coup funding. . imran kahn in
pakistan , a much greater threat to peace than erdogan . khomeni. xi or putin

[07/31/18 04:08:34 AM] Epstein: really bad news.

[07/31/18 04:14:14 AM] Epstein: makes donald look like einstein. Incapable of truth. , devout islamisist . many nuclear
weapons. ( not erdogan or khomeni). he was married to two friends of mine, one daughter of jimmy goldsmith. super
wealthy take over guy. forced her to convert. wacko

chess player , but he's good at rousing the crowd

[08/01/18 02:25:11 PM] Bannon (?): Ending with a celebration ??? is not burning everything down a celebration!!!!

base.
[08/01/18 02:37:46 PM] Bannon (?): Incredible
[08/01/18 02:38:14 PM] Bannon (?): Weaponize as in stop buying western goods
[08/01/18 02:40:22 PM] Epstein: All consumers digitized . Evaluated , they get points for certain behaviors This is the
next ten year plan. They say if you want our 500 million people buying X. We want Y and if xi says no Microsoft
products. Its not like Donald asking people not to buy Toyotas. In china. The next day , no Microsoft products sell. .
genius
[08/01/18 02:40:59 PM] Bannon (?): Total control
[08/01/18 02:41:24 PM] Epstein: xi has moved the party ABOVE govt. . lots of tentacles. . they used to be side by side.
[08/01/18 02:41:54 PM] Bannon (?): Total control-- it's what we have going for us
[08/01/18 02:42:14 PM] Bannon (?): 60 million in charge of 1.5 billion
[08/01/18 02:46:55 PM] Epstein: Tom was the the top of the news in china. Xi , believes he has a better way to govern
that he will be able to convince the world that the democratic US. Model. DOES NOT WORK. So he will offer an alternative
system. Putting the belt road , made in china 2025 . And not allowing different views from that of the party . All
purchases can be directed monitored and like a video game , the individual gets social reward points. Very clever
[08/01/18 02:48:25 PM] Bannon (?): Xi said he had a better way to govern ???
[08/01/18 02:48:48 PM] Epstein: Yes a new form of govt for the future
[08/01/18 02:50:02 PM] Epstein: Feel free to reach out to Tom for a download directly. He likes you .
[08/01/18 02:50:14 PM] Bannon (?): Thanks
[08/01/18 02:57:36 PM] Epstein: Also keep in mind that right after the burning of kristalnacht , Goebels released his
move. . it was the eternal jew.. my ex girlfriend used to say she wanted to make a move taking off only the " w" and
make it the eternal J E
[08/01/18 03:02:25 PM] Bannon (?): She meant the 'Internal'
[08/01/18 03:02:43 PM] Epstein: Now you're talking DARK

[08/02/18 04:25:51 AM] Bannon (?): u sound sometimes like my blessed , departed mother
[08/02/18 04:29:10 AM] Epstein: Self organizing systems . revolutions. Start with knowing. Discipline separates out the
winners from the hopefuls . Seriously , no excuses. You are important in many ways , no more though than to yourself
[08/02/18 04:29:33 AM] Epstein: Sorry to be a noodge
[08/02/18 04:32:03 AM] Epstein: Especially a psa test
[08/02/18 04:35:22 AM] Bannon (?): Can I do this tomorrow afternoon ???
[08/02/18 04:36:02 AM] Epstein: Time/
[08/02/18 04:37:01 AM] Epstein: And so we are clear the reasons are only to catch things early if need be . Often
waiting is a good thing as you have more info. . however in biology , you don't want to wait until its now too late to
stop
[08/02/18 04:38:48 AM] Bannon (?): Agree-- although I'm an idiot and superstitious about all this
[08/02/18 04:42:33 AM] Epstein: Im aware . And I don't trust any doctors or lawyers. ANY. , however , one of the
advantages of the global elite , is that they live longer. No worry , you can be dark and still prefer to live. :)Call
Bernie on his cell directly to set .
[08/02/18 04:44:15 AM] Bannon (?): Thanks
[08/02/18 04:44:26 AM] Bannon (?): Bernie last name ??
[08/02/18 04:44:30 AM] Epstein: Kruger
[08/02/18 04:46:06 AM] Epstein: As you might imagine I believe in top- down economics. without you at the top , there is
no movement. ZERO !
[08/02/18 05:22:58 AM] Epstein: When you say " departed " I think of scorcese not your mother
[08/02/18 05:45:00 AM] Bannon (?): LOL
[08/02/18 07:30:16 AM] Epstein: Alternatively , if you take a trip to palm beach. All bloods etc. can be done my head of
Mayo Clinic a good friend. . reminder money medicine law. JEWS only
[08/02/18 07:36:14 AM] Bannon (?): I've only had Jewish doctors and lawyers since leaving the Navy
[08/02/18 07:40:18 AM] Epstein: Bernie not available until Wednesday. Though im sure we can organize to drain you of
some of that vampire blood
[08/02/18 07:43:56 AM] Bannon (?): Not blood ice water -- that boils on contact
[08/02/18 07:46:07 AM] Epstein: I didn't know bill burke was circumsised. Though im sure he feels as if he is still
undergoing the procedure
[08/02/18 10:37:26 AM] Epstein: Do you want to go to the Venice film festival. Should we try for a Europe trip around
then?
[08/02/18 12:02:07 PM] Bannon (?): Yes
[08/02/18 12:57:19 PM] Epstein: Cool .

use
[08/03/18 09:00:58 AM] Epstein: To no avail
[08/03/18 09:42:12 AM] Bannon (?): we r getting there
[08/03/18 09:43:31 AM] Epstein: Xeno's paradox
[08/03/18 01:12:26 PM] Epstein: If I throw a ball at the wall, when it has travelled halfway, it still has half the
distance to travel. As it continues, the fraction left to travel continues i.e. one quarter to go, one eighth to go, one
sixteenth to go, etc. since the denominator of the distance continues to double... I am thinking mathematicaly speaking,
the ball never reaches the wall.
[08/04/18 06:10:37 AM] Bannon (?): Very zen-- what am I missing , I'm just a dumb cracker
[08/04/18 06:11:13 AM] Epstein: Its like you going to the doctor. You will agree to go halfway there. Then halfway
again. . never actually having to give blood
[08/04/18 06:11:32 AM] Epstein:
[08/04/18 06:14:00 AM] Bannon (?): Cracker gets it now
[08/04/18 06:16:20 AM] Epstein: If you can come on wed eve or thurs I can ask miro to join and help strategize. . He
will run the European security counsel. All fun. I would like he and you to be able to meet leaders. , I bring nothing
to the table at this time

[08/04/18 02:09:21 PM] Bannon (?): Thinking late Tuesday night ; what's up???
[08/04/18 02:13:39 PM] Epstein: Trying to find time for a f2f to make Europe productive . Im in Caribbean currently , I
was planning to come to New York wed. Afternoon, but if you think useful I could try to come late tues

[08/05/18 08:09:45 AM] Epstein: Steve Bannon's Big Plan For Europe Has Some Big Flaws. By Akbar Shahid Ahmed. Can this

[08/18/18 05:25:06 AM] Bannon: I was under orders to dial it down for this audience -- between Errol Morris film; NY Mag

[08/18/18 05:40:37 AM] Epstein: Actually the first of Very many to come. Thats why -what tweaks will make it better for
you? Your eye is the best , so important for you to watch the play reel. Over the shoulder for him , 3/4 for you. ??
lighting. . hot for you . /. chairs . ? too restrictive for you. ? Loved pulling out the FT. .!
[08/18/18 05:43:21 AM] Bannon: Yes
[08/18/18 05:43:36 AM] Epstein: Im back wed . ( Thiel coming ). We can discuss response to tax cut criticism. The 83
percent to rich is misleading by miles . Cash back. Pension funds up.
[08/18/18 05:48:01 AM] Epstein: Corporations are not people. Giving corp breaks , is perceived as giving it to someone
else. wage inflation cant be the first focus, the additional money in the system. First goes to hiring new people, only

for the country , and then fake the heart attack.

of wrongdoing . only transmitting.

[08/24/18 04:58:43 AM] Epstein: yes. opened cohen . and reviewing corp. but only a matter of time. cohen . fed deal does
not include state. state has no double imdemnity for tax . and all its bookkeeping issues. . I refer to this as a very
slow guilty plea. and the ny attny general woman is super smart
[08/24/18 04:59:06 AM] Epstein: so subpoenas galore

[08/24/18 05:30:31 AM] Epstein: witnessing as one might describe it , as squeezing one out , for the last time

it nice to have tomorrows news today

well. . I didn't add bannon as i know ivanka hates him. though as you said about bedfellows . he would be a good
addition if it wasn't for his baggage .
[08/24/18 07:15:13 PM] Epstein: and not sure he will actually follow any advice but you could try .

[08/25/18 04:45:55 AM] Epstein: it includes the guys he talks to normallly , but as usual he doesn't realize they also
talk to each other . so saying one thing to one and then another thing to motivation Im told " yes it has good for us
but bad for the country ". Brennans description of drunk with power. seems apt
[08/25/18 04:50:04 AM] Epstein: He believes he is smarter than all of them combined, that is the issue. unfortunately he
might be right
[08/25/18 04:51:37 AM] Bannon: He is -- and he is stilll a moron lefrac, Roth etc etc all 3rd rate -- he will never
listen to that crew

water " comment. I trust none of them .

[08/26/18 05:10:49 AM] Bannon: How do u think it will be read -- this film is already causing massive controversy behind
the scenes because of the slots in Venice and New York -- it's the Saturday night film in Alice Tulley

however ).an that Is wholly dependent on context. What is happening at the time and after re trump Not to re - channel
your dearly departed mother, but --- take care of you first.

[09/09/18 03:52:51 AM] Bannon (?): On it
[09/09/18 03:53:56 AM] Epstein: The media co. has lots of advantages. Source privilege etc
[09/09/18 07:32:48 AM] Epstein: Coup. Pottinger? His whole family are rats
[09/09/18 08:47:55 AM] Epstein: His brother Stan would have written It
[09/09/18 10:41:17 AM] Bannon (?): Pottingers family not good???
[09/09/18 10:56:57 AM] Epstein: Rotten
[09/09/18 10:57:20 AM] Epstein: David boles partner
[09/09/18 11:09:41 AM] Epstein: And writer would use a legal or family cutout.
[09/09/18 11:10:19 AM] Epstein: So they could answer. I didn't write it
[09/09/18 11:10:42 AM] Epstein: Without committing perjury
[09/09/18 11:12:42 AM] Epstein: And you would have to have prepared a serious defense strategy . Powerful legal advice
etc .
[09/09/18 11:23:06 AM] Epstein: Not to put too much emphasis. But they say they relied on the trusted intermediary. ?
you wouldn't have to do that if you met the official? It says the author not the person ? And testimony . 0
[09/09/18 11:36:27 AM] Bannon (?): ???
[09/09/18 11:36:54 AM] Epstein: The editor of the times. Did not meet the author
[09/09/18 11:37:26 AM] Epstein: I sent you the editor quote
[09/09/18 11:38:06 AM] Epstein: Sorry. Did not meet the " official"
[09/09/18 11:38:46 AM] Epstein: Otherwise they wouldn't need testimony of a trusted imtermeidiary to vett
[09/09/18 11:39:28 AM] Bannon (?): Incredible they didn't meet!!!
[09/09/18 11:39:56 AM] Epstein: Exactly. Read the quote I sent you from the editor
[09/09/18 11:40:36 AM] Bannon (?): Didn't come thru
[09/09/18 11:40:49 AM] Bannon (?): How was Woodward on tv ???
[09/09/18 11:42:19 AM] Epstein: Just emailed it again
[09/09/18 11:42:39 AM] Bannon (?): How was woodward
[09/09/18 11:43:55 AM] Epstein: Well done. Especially when he says. Donald doesn't remember
[09/09/18 12:02:30 PM] Bannon (?): Donald doesn't remember ???
[09/09/18 12:04:29 PM] Epstein: They also say the editors " know who it
[09/09/18 12:05:48 PM] Epstein: How do they know ? Trusted intermediary ? It also says direct communication with the
author?? If the author is the official . What does direct communication mean.
[09/09/18 12:10:09 PM] Bannon (?): Very unprofessional
[09/09/18 12:54:29 PM] Epstein: What type of background would they have to do if it were either a top person. Or if the
sourcing was perfect. . odd
[09/09/18 12:57:37 PM] Epstein: Sweden democrats. Fun
[09/09/18 12:58:16 PM] Bannon (?): Need to get to 20 for psychological Impact
[09/09/18 12:58:53 PM] Epstein: K
[09/10/18 01:20:00 PM] Epstein: Not sure when you arrive New York. Ken Starr in fri night
[09/11/18 03:50:23 AM] Bannon (?): Friday night will work if I get out of here early
[09/11/18 03:51:22 AM] Epstein: Ok, should be a full week for you. otherwise rummler. Set for sat lunch.
[09/11/18 03:51:49 AM] Epstein: Should I have miro as well?
[09/11/18 03:52:53 AM] Bannon (?): Sure
[09/12/18 06:05:24 AM] Epstein: Movie tonight?
[09/12/18 09:00:01 AM] Bannon (?): Yes
[09/12/18 09:06:34 AM] Epstein: I did like the comment that Woodward was your stenographer. I laughed out loud
[09/12/18 09:13:40 AM] Bannon (?): Their stenographer
[09/12/18 09:16:39 AM] Epstein: Christie Blasts Woodward As 'Stenographer' For Steve Bannon. your plan is working well.
My french govt guys said it is a shame that some if this has real world consequences. - otherwise the performances are
fantastic
[09/12/18 09:19:56 AM] Epstein: They also were adamant and agreed with you , that China for the very first time is
following an imperialistic strategy, well thought through. Covered in nice " silk" . And lamented the moment that Total
, the French oil co , was forced to leave Iran . China was there within the week .
[09/12/18 09:53:45 AM] Bannon (?): Yep : but that will all be reversed when regime falls
[09/13/18 06:20:13 AM] Epstein: Good luck tomorrow
[09/14/18 01:57:11 AM] Epstein: when questioned i never look at anyone directly, i focus above their heads it takes the
emotion out
[09/14/18 03:42:20 AM] Bannon (?): Called off
[09/14/18 03:42:35 AM] Bannon (?): For another day
[09/14/18 03:42:56 AM] Epstein: sweet
[09/14/18 03:43:13 AM] Bannon (?): We heard It's because manafort AND Cohen are taking up there time
[09/14/18 03:43:19 AM] Epstein: Im in New York lots to discuss
[09/14/18 03:43:39 AM] Epstein: is donald doing your spelling
[09/14/18 03:43:43 AM] Bannon (?): Yes-- this afternoon ?
[09/14/18 03:43:54 AM] Epstein: perfect
[09/14/18 03:44:04 AM] Bannon (?): Very stable speller
[09/14/18 04:00:34 AM] Epstein: look at china moving into venezuela. brilliant move
[09/14/18 04:00:48 AM] Bannon (?): Yes
[09/14/18 04:01:22 AM] Bannon (?): What would be the three major points you make to the economist event tomorrow ???
[09/14/18 04:02:02 AM] Epstein: they get oil , geographic choke point, spread down to argentina and establlsh. foothold
.
[09/14/18 04:03:31 AM] Epstein: let me think, 1 . I would think that the world got to vote on the trump presidency. and
it votes by buying dollars . look at lira. venezuela brazil. india. europe. the world voted and the Us is way ahead. all
the worry about tariffs, trade etc are reflected in the strength of the dollar.
[09/14/18 04:05:29 AM] Epstein: 2. all the talk about lower tax revenues misses the point . it is about the country's
cash flow not internally generated revenue . billions of dollars came back from europe. , and into our system it is not
reflected in tax revenue numbers. ex , if apple brings back 100 billion dollars and invests it , it does not show in
treasury tax revenue figure
[09/14/18 04:06:33 AM] Bannon (?): Brilliant brilliant brilliant -- help me develop that argument on 10th anniversary of
Lehman
[09/14/18 04:15:28 AM] Epstein: in addition , wage rise AFTER unemployment goes down. NOT before. ! trump first put the
most disadvantaged the UNEMPLOYED first. . and with great success. can you imagine the attacks if wages went up , but
the blacks and hispanics were still without work. He needs to be given TIME . the first play has worked. he believes in
a winning game strategy, you can't judge it because he hasn't scored a touchdown from way in his own backfield. ( ball
given to him by obama on his own 10 yard line ) he has moved the ball way up the field. and the dems can see the
touchdown coming. yes there have been some fumbles along the way, no question. and some have been taken off the field.
but the horror and the dems faces is they see the team has progressed in spite of all the yellow flags and cries of
foul. There ( sic ) defense is maxine waters and nancy pelosi ) donalds offense is pompeo mattis and kelly. they don't
have to like the quarterback they just have to win,
[09/14/18 04:18:23 AM] Epstein: Lehman was caused by pelosi. because she is a true dope. she wanted a change in
accounting , because she conflated her checking account with that of a govt. . a longer story . - i will go through the
prime trading partners and their currency decline since you guys took office. . makes for quite a chart
[09/14/18 04:19:50 AM] Bannon (?): Can u meet later today?
[09/14/18 04:20:10 AM] Epstein: at your convenience . yes
[09/14/18 04:22:15 AM] Bannon (?): Late around 6???
[09/14/18 04:26:20 AM] Epstein: done see you then\
[09/14/18 04:42:38 AM] Epstein: the football analogy , helps with the anonymous op ed. imagine if a team member thought
they would work against tom brady strategy. fans would go crazy. and like a football team they call each other dumbfuck
in the locker room but pull together on the field
[09/14/18 04:44:33 AM] Epstein: however ill stick to economic advice, you might also point out that saudi sovereign
wealth fund needed to borrow money. !!. they mistakenly and childishly think that the fact that they can borrow 10
billion dollars at not a very good rate showed strength. but in fact, like their fade in the tesla mess , illustrates
they have no cash. I think masa is japanese's for madoff
[09/14/18 05:00:46 AM] Epstein: Saudi Arabia set to enter the Guinness Book of Records with the display of the largest
number of fireworks and unfurling of the largest national flag to mark the celebrations of the 88thNational Day. this is
the mentality of other countries
[09/14/18 05:26:12 AM] Epstein: the other two areas. 1. dems scream trump deregulating where mnuchin has instituted the
stricter KYC rules in history. The U S leads. class americans would put their money in Switzerland today where the banks
charge YOU . 75 basis points to keep it there. so many bad actors. 2, crypto needs to be thought of similar to the
internet. intl agreements . coordinated understandings . otherwise it is a ponzi scheme outside of the law how many
working
[09/14/18 02:17:47 PM] Epstein: ETA?
[09/14/18 02:24:59 PM] Bannon (?): Filming interview for Italian tv
[09/14/18 02:27:50 PM] Epstein: Good. Later or breakfast?
[09/14/18 02:30:39 PM] Epstein: Im easy . Reminder Ruemmler for lunch tomorrow if you like.
[09/14/18 02:30:51 PM] Bannon (?): Later if that works for u

[09/14/18 02:31:54 PM] Bannon (?): Mm
[09/14/18 02:32:28 PM] Epstein: ?
[09/14/18 05:14:11 PM] Bannon (?): Can't make it tonight -- can I call u later ???
[09/14/18 05:15:57 PM] Epstein: No worry at all - yes call later fine -
[09/14/18 05:17:17 PM] Epstein: do you want early breakfast? And are you coming for Kathy?
[09/14/18 05:21:17 PM] Bannon: Kathy is @ 1?
[09/14/18 05:22:06 PM] Epstein: 130? -3
[09/14/18 05:23:03 PM] Bannon (?): Cool
[09/14/18 05:23:08 PM] Bannon (?): Yes
[09/14/18 05:24:54 PM] Epstein: Miro also
[09/14/18 05:25:14 PM] Bannon (?): Excellent
[09/14/18 07:45:23 PM] Epstein: If you want to talk im online for another 20 min. Otherwise morning

(This is probably a conversation with Bannon (?))
[09/17/18 05:47:56 AM] Epstein: Yes, I did laugh at trumps'. "Tremendously wet !!. " I liked you pounding on come out
and be heard. Re op ed. . imagine if these admin officials are part of the military . Do you want them not to follow
orders.? Its ridiculous for the press to defend.
[09/17/18 05:51:23 AM] Bannon (?): Exactly
[09/17/18 05:53:28 AM] Epstein: In addition I thought the dem Kelly was no slouch but in typical female form blabbed.
Yes make the republicans fight on all hundred seats. Your suggestions of forget 20 or them and focus. Pincer like on the
ones that count
[09/17/18 05:56:29 AM] Epstein: 'I also would develop one of your knee jerk answers. as powerful as. " I need no one to
tell me how to raise an empowered woman". To the personal atttacks on you, " this isnt about me. Its about Blah blah.
[09/17/18 05:57:51 AM] Epstein: Its not about giving me a platform. , its about ... its not about me being a
propagandist. Its about . . ITs not about trying to label me a racist a homophobic or ..... Its about ..
[09/17/18 05:58:10 AM] Epstein: POW!
[09/17/18 05:59:24 AM] Epstein: I feel like Mickey in Rocky 1
[09/17/18 05:59:24 AM] Bannon (?): Love It
[09/17/18 05:59:47 AM] Epstein: I need to fuck up my ears
[09/17/18 06:00:08 AM] Bannon (?): "I got this knowledge it's all up here ..."
[09/17/18 06:01:57 AM] Epstein: He is clearly more lion then tin man and scarecrow, . Though he might have no brain or
heart , must admit he has courage
[09/17/18 06:02:08 AM] Epstein:
[09/17/18 06:05:01 AM] Bannon (?): "Courage is the most important of all the virtues-- because upon it all the others
rest"
[09/17/18 06:06:56 AM] Epstein: Look familiar
[09/17/18 06:07:15 AM] Bannon (?): Love that guy

[09/17/18 06:07:48 AM] Epstein: lol
[09/17/18 07:06:05 AM] Epstein: You might even consider setting it up with hannity, what do you say when they call
you/.//. etc
[09/17/18 07:11:31 AM] Bannon (?): wear the ACCUSATION of racism etc etc etc
[09/17/18 07:15:53 AM] Epstein: But take the time , you argue your statements were taken " out of context "/. Too vague
. " I believe if people void of ideas and fear of fair debate need to resort to cheap name calling- you have won. And
wear that WIN with pride. ..
[09/17/18 07:17:36 AM] Epstein: Not the accusation . Wear the fact that they are bereft of argument and must dig down
into an empty debate barrel and come up only with the sludge of name calling. wipe on , wipe off
[09/17/18 07:19:17 AM] Bannon (?): Killer
[09/17/18 07:24:03 AM] Epstein: People fearful of debating the results , the facts . Isis gone. Markets up . Currency
super strong. . sanctions on Russia. Iran and other purveyors of destabilization on their heels. . these people say
don't give him a platform. Don't listen . Don't debate. Don't look at the facts. Call him names. He's a racist. fascist.
Mysogonist . Dont let him speak.
[09/17/18 07:24:25 AM] Epstein: How great
[09/17/18 07:29:25 AM] Epstein: Do you want to attack me . ? do you want to defend the right of people to subvert . A
duly elected official? Stand up , have a debate. I don't hide in the shadows. You might not agree with me, but thats ok.
Lets discuss it. I don't attack you personally , and see no reason that you should attack me. Lets discuss FACTS . You
don't like mothers being separated from their children. It happens everyday to people that commit crimes . Everyday . .
they are separated . In Chicago those parents are killed in the street. They are permanently separated. . Focus . !!
[09/17/18 09:30:47 AM] Epstein: Trump is not Abe Lincoln. But they have similar internal politics to contend. With ,
these silly analogies are just that silly.
[09/17/18 09:31:03 AM] Epstein: Silly is good word. Not too harsh. But no one likes to be called silly
[09/17/18 09:40:32 AM] Bannon (?): He is Lincoln in this regard
[09/17/18 09:44:36 AM] Epstein: They share similar problems. That is it. They try to conflate the person from the
problems they face
[09/17/18 10:17:28 AM] Epstein: How quickly they forget.

[09/18/18 07:21:59 AM] Epstein: in her book, Daniels also delivers a below-the-belt blow to the size-obsessed Trump,
describing his genitals in lurid detail. She says his penis is "smaller than average," but "not freakishly small." "He
knows he has an unusual penis," Daniels claims. "It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool

[09/22/18 02:23:13 PM] Epstein: This judiciary hearing is a trap!! Ive been through many of these. MANY!! She will cry,
make sordid allegations. Say she feels bullied, fearful, traumatized. Every thing bad in her life was s result of the
rape attempt. Suffered anxiety! Her relationships with men etc. this is a very special skill set needed.

a fact that.. would you admit that..,

the market direction wrong. you might respectfully ask didn't you also get ..... wrong. and wouldn't you admit that your
confident predictions re the election itself was way off the mark. so di you think your ability to predict has gotten

grandfather would have bought one hundred dollar in treasury bills. the article to be accurate would have said when
Donald was 3 years old he received 14k per year. And it doesn't say whether taxes were paid on that

[11/14/18 11:58:21 AM] Bannon (?): That photo is huge
[11/14/18 03:51:48 PM] Epstein: I was in the military . Side by side , with blacks hispanics. Races ethnicities. Working
TOGETHER. . economic nationalism is not racist , not violent. ISIS. and their defeat. The deplorable fighting side by
side . To make the country safe. Do you know what all the soldiers. Have in common? Do you? They are citizens. They are
not undocumented citizens. They are not illegal citizens. They are bound together to protect each other.
[11/14/18 03:55:33 PM] Epstein: I said if the left refuses to engage on policy but resorts to calling our men and women
racist , etc. I said wear the name calling as a badge of honor , wear the evidence of a bankrupt policy . The scraping
of the bottom of the lefts empty barrel only left to hurl insults. I abhor the Pittsburg massacre. I abhor the killing
of the young black men in Chicago. These are our citizens .
[11/14/18 03:55:45 PM] Epstein: What it is not. Have fun tomorrow

[11/14/18 04:15:47 PM] Epstein: Two years ago before trump horrific images . Beheading , burnings tortured/ isis was
terrorizing your minds . The deplorables side by side with black - white citizens. Fought- lives were lost . We have won

[11/16/18 03:05:39 PM] Epstein: Great opportunity ! Weak govt everywhere. Saudi , Yemen US , UK , France. Etc. often
difficult to make deals with the weak as they are afraid of being seen to be vulnerable
[11/16/18 03:06:30 PM] Epstein: Each sensitive to concessions . So a strong third party . Can take the brunt.

[11/18/18 03:27:00 AM] Bannon (?): I think they were livestreaming the riot outside gate that we had to go back thru to
see when we could exit
[11/18/18 03:31:13 AM] Epstein: 3 things. 1. No excuses. As It was in the beginning of your talk , not relevant. And the
most dangerous time. 2. In the streets your guys want sunglasses or glasses. As people throw liquids at their faces and
it protects the eyes. 3 and during your talks scanning the crowd.
[11/18/18 03:31:45 AM] Epstein: Need to keep you for the next rounds :
[11/18/18 03:31:46 AM] Bannon (?): Got it
[11/18/18 03:31:57 AM] Bannon (?): Riot outside was serious
[11/18/18 03:32:15 AM] Epstein: I was very aware in real time
[11/18/18 03:33:49 AM] Epstein: Guns not used often there. So not treacherous . But some of your other up and coming
venues are less gentlemanly
[11/18/18 03:34:54 AM] Epstein: And I couldn't tell if he had an earpiece. If not we should upgrade equipment
[11/18/18 03:36:56 AM] Epstein: <Unsupported Message Content>
[11/18/18 03:39:18 AM] Epstein: Sorry I take no prisoners
[11/18/18 03:41:42 AM] Bannon (?): Agree
[11/18/18 03:56:26 AM] Epstein: As some of your policies are really left. - I might ask the questioners. Did you agree
with anything I've said? No? Do you believe in higher wages? do you believe in reducing voter suppression.? If they say
Yes. . tell me what do we agree on? Pow !

Notice to king ok.
[11/21/18 03:23:32 AM] Bannon (?): They called yesterday-- they want to do the meeting , think its smart-- but they have
a process with their bigger partner and are going thru that now
[11/21/18 03:25:06 AM] Epstein: Understood
[11/21/18 10:21:40 AM] Epstein: Spent the morning with Ken Starr, really someone you should know
[11/21/18 10:35:34 AM] Bannon (?): I agree
[11/21/18 10:35:50 AM] Bannon (?): How bad a shape does he think djt is in???
[11/21/18 10:37:37 AM] Epstein: From a legal standpoint. He doesn't believe that obstruction applies to the use of a
power even if it was solely done for self interest. He thinks it has to be for a CORRUPT ( bribery etc ) And sees no
evidence of that.
[11/21/18 10:43:21 AM] Bannon (?): Epic -- trump clear on mueller if that's the case
[11/21/18 10:50:32 AM] Epstein: The issues will be the related financial ones , southern eastern district
[11/21/18 10:53:28 AM] Bannon (?): Yes yes yes -- and the Hill investigations

was last time he saw trump"... etc etc etc
[11/21/18 01:24:42 PM] Epstein: Some reporters asking the same question ? Can figure out why?
[11/21/18 01:25:03 PM] Epstein: Can't
[11/21/18 01:27:22 PM] Bannon (?): Interview ends with 50 names -- everybody gets the request -- 25 Russian names ; 25
American -- u and Leon are # 3 / #4 on american list
[11/21/18 01:27:58 PM] Epstein: Understood
[11/21/18 01:28:38 PM] Epstein: funny
[11/21/18 01:35:49 PM] Bannon (?): " has Leon Black ever mentioned Russia" ; " Do you know of any connections Leon Black
has with Russia" etc etc
[11/21/18 01:41:38 PM] Epstein: Other Americans? David geovanis? Ken lebow? Any other names you recall

[11/21/18 01:43:47 PM] Epstein: Ha
[11/22/18 08:58:58 AM] Bannon (?): MBS headed to see our friends for talks
[11/22/18 09:02:29 AM] Epstein: Z ? Terje in riyand
[11/22/18 09:18:05 AM] Bannon (?): Yes
[11/22/18 03:11:57 PM] Bannon (?): Hope you are having a great thanksgiving
[11/22/18 03:13:59 PM] Epstein: thx, I had some of the largest hedge fund guys here today , and they all now agree with
my contention that something is stinky in the market. I suggested. That Saudi is selling. Maybe china. , they both want
cash
[11/22/18 03:14:37 PM] Bannon (?): Interesting
[11/22/18 03:18:53 PM] Epstein: What do you think the likelihood of additional tariffs jan 1. Any progress at g20. . put
down that piece of pie
[11/22/18 03:32:23 PM] Bannon (?): Trump needs a 'win' and is getting huge pressure from mnuchin/Kudlow Wall Street
faction but everybody else saying no deal possible markets keep crashing will all depend on trumps mood
[11/22/18 03:57:55 PM] Epstein: There may be a video of kasshohgi. If so game over
[11/22/18 04:01:25 PM] Bannon (?): I'm sure they do
[11/23/18 03:22:35 AM] Epstein: Im re-focused on you having a press/news base. Even if it were called the movement. It
is so structurally elegant. Privileged .? Funding? Subscriptions.? Intl . Avoid " in kind " treatment. Your notebooks ,
safe. etc
[11/23/18 03:27:19 AM] Bannon (?): U mean have media platform not NGO/political platform?
[11/23/18 03:30:36 AM] Epstein: We can talk it out. Maybe both, but the NGO. Gives you little. And is old thinking. It
allows a tax deduction in the states. ( at the cost of the govt being your partner " But otherwise , requires filings ,
public etc. " ). press . private. protected. . access, legal niceties. ( salaries . Etc ) .
[11/23/18 03:31:54 AM] Epstein: Think of it as a battle plan. You have made great strides. Forged ahead. at some time
you stop and build a fort to protect your gains. 0
[11/23/18 03:32:46 AM] Epstein: Press equiv. To walls. NGO eqivalent to moat
[11/23/18 06:30:46 AM] Bannon (?): Yes
[11/23/18 06:33:30 AM] Epstein: K
[11/23/18 12:09:29 PM] Epstein: MBS becoming weaker by the day. shame. Not sure he makes it. Why don't you reach out to
z and ask if we can set a date and venue
[11/23/18 12:11:05 PM] Bannon (?): MBS in UAE now
[11/23/18 12:11:54 PM] Epstein: I thought today was Tunis. He is on a road show.
[11/23/18 12:12:11 PM] Bannon (?): I'm pretty impressed by how they are trying to power thru this
[11/23/18 12:12:28 PM] Bannon (?): Yes -- just departed mbz
[11/23/18 12:13:57 PM] Epstein: My best guess is that it becomes impossible for him to sit at a table of leaders. And
have any gravitas left. Especially if a video of them making Saudi sausage surfaces in the press
[11/23/18 12:15:09 PM] Bannon (?): Oh yeah that's done but was that ever a reality for any Saudi head???
[11/23/18 12:16:54 PM] Epstein: Idi amin was ok , until they had a video of him eating the liver of his opponent. The
past did not have the internet. Where the leaders are seen in real time shaking the hand of the butcher. Tricky. But
it's not what I do.
[11/23/18 12:19:27 PM] Epstein: Unlikely that lambchop moves to replace shari, but aljazera won't let up. So he should
make peace with Q
[11/23/18 12:19:57 PM] Bannon (?): Agree ; and I think mbz does also
[11/23/18 01:06:54 PM] Epstein:

[11/23/18 01:20:08 PM] Bannon (?): How does this happen when crypto is imploding
[11/23/18 01:21:49 PM] Epstein: Good question. 1. The stock was down from 80 to 17 . So a move up to 22 not interesting.
Crypto is the currency , block chain is the equiv of internet 2.0. this was the guy you wanted me to meet?
[11/23/18 01:30:02 PM] Bannon (?): No need to-- I spent time with -- kind of a flake
[11/23/18 01:43:29 PM] Epstein: You are being generous
[11/23/18 01:47:47 PM] Bannon (?): Tried to convince me he was with CIA ... 'fantasist'
[11/23/18 01:48:21 PM] Epstein: Maybe he was using his seduction routine
[11/23/18 01:48:51 PM] Bannon (?): That was the pitch -- with the Russian girl
[11/23/18 01:48:51 PM] Epstein: Give me a call.

[11/18/18 10:00:53 AM] Epstein: Understood
[11/19/18 02:13:19 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: As of today...
[11/19/18 02:38:30 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: 0y, indeed
[11/19/18 11:12:03 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Mid January
[11/19/18 11:12:45 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Yes. Something will happen by then.
[11/20/18 04:42:43 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: I said today that if Slovakia withdraws from Migration compact I will consider
resignation. It's a breaking news all over the media. And it might actually happen. I might have to do it to protect my
professional and personal integrity.
[11/20/18 04:49:57 AM] Epstein: The prime minister is still on your side?
[11/20/18 04:50:16 AM] Epstein: do I understand correctly that it is you vs parliament?
[11/20/18 04:51:10 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Yes, the PM is with me. But the former PM and party chairman is pushing for
withdrawal
[11/20/18 04:51:47 AM] _____________________: Parliament can only recommend to the government.
[11/20/18 04:52:23 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: But I will totally lose credibility if Slovakia withdraws and I stay silent
[11/20/18 04:57:59 AM] Epstein: Agreed
[11/20/18 04:58:59 AM] Epstein: More divisiveness. I guess better opportunity to be seen to unify?
[11/20/18 05:00:18 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Maybe. And maybe another signal that internal politics is for me, at least not
at this stage
[11/20/18 05:01:00 AM] Epstein: It seems people are trying to make the argument that strength is in opposition to
humanity.. ? I assume you meant that internal is NOT for you. . ( that's how wars start )
[11/20/18 05:01:50 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Yes, you are right:) Not for me
[11/20/18 05:24:07 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: I called back, you have voicemail
[11/20/18 05:24:14 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Feel free to call
[11/20/18 05:51:22 AM] Epstein: tried
[11/22/18 04:14:53 AM] Epstein: Appears like a fun committee meeting. Don't let them get you to be emotional. Breathe.!
Think judicial demeanor.
[11/22/18 04:16:45 AM] Epstein: If you decide to resign. Lets make the resignation powerful.
[11/22/18 04:18:11 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: You are right. I stay cool, only in reaction to MPs stupid statements I I got a
bit emotional. But not too much.
[11/22/18 04:18:33 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Thanks, if going then going in style:)
[11/22/18 04:19:40 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: But in general I'm surprisingly relaxed. I feel I'm doing the right thing. And
there is a powerful positive reaction from people.
[11/22/18 04:26:26 AM] Epstein: Im not surprised. , I think your position is just. It is the explanation of it that
needs tailoring. Ie Not on the table youre on the menu, is too flippant You know your country. It wants to appear
strong. Hiding from attending engenders the opposite I think you can make a great case that attending strengthens the
country s hand. Hiding , running away from the issue , shows weakness and brings more trouble. .
[11/22/18 04:28:04 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Yes, you are right. I will stress that more.
[11/22/18 04:32:51 AM] Epstein: " Slovaks don't run and hide . We stand tall and say ...... . Or nyet. Or Slovakia must
decide what is good for Slovakia . Fun
[11/22/18 04:34:50 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Fun:)
[11/22/18 04:35:22 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: I said many of these things yesterday in the Committee
[11/22/18 04:35:36 AM] Epstein: I think this issue helps frame your own decision making. Its not do you want to be
president and what that means. , more and more it means. Can I stand to be around these small minded people
[11/22/18 04:36:44 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: Yes, exactly
[11/22/18 01:29:40 PM] Epstein: "I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,"
Clinton said regarding the rise of rightwing populists like Hungary's Viktor Orban. Clinton added: "I admire the very
generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like Angela Merkel, but I think it is fair
to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message - 'we are not going to be able to continue provide
refuge and support' - because if we don't deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic."
[11/22/18 01:33:01 PM] Miroslav Lajčák: He's absolutely right
[11/22/18 01:33:13 PM] Epstein: She
[11/22/18 01:34:01 PM] Miroslav Lajčák: Oh, OK. But she's still right:)))
[11/26/18 03:08:51 AM] Epstein: Progress?
[11/26/18 03:38:31 AM] ___________________: Both President and the Prime Minister are working on a deal. They don't want
to lose me. Parliament is still stubborn. I said my read line is to go to Marrakech and not to reject the Migration
compact in its entirety. The vote on the parliamentary resolution was postponed until next week. I'm in Turkey today,
was just received by Erdogan for a very long, private and friendly meeting. Flying to Berlin from here.
[11/26/18 10:05:59 AM] Epstein: Did he give you an Apple Watch to record your future conversations
[11/26/18 10:06:35 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: No, he didn't:)
[11/26/18 10:07:07 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: But he spoke at length about it
[11/26/18 10:07:27 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: About the case, not the watch:)
[11/26/18 10:07:57 AM] Epstein: He talks a lot doesn't he?
[11/26/18 10:08:08 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: He will continue raising it in various international fora
[11/26/18 10:08:12 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: He does
[11/26/18 10:08:48 AM] Miroslav Lajčák: And he likes me. The Foreign minister was our Interpreter
[11/29/18 02:24:53 PM] Miroslav Lajčák: Are you OK?
[11/29/18 03:45:52 PM] Epstein: great. bad press. silly
[11/29/18 03:45:56 PM] Epstein: thx
[11/29/18 04:24:45 PM] Epstein: My turn again in the barrel

[03/18/19 08:26:20 AM] Epstein: you are receiving 30k in amex gift cards. or I think it much better thet you have your
own credit card and start building a good credit history . so you can have money wired into your own account. and no one
gets to review what you do with it. I prefer you have total privacy
[03/18/19 09:11:55 AM] Celina Dubin (?): I love both ideas .. I feel like it is difficult to set up my own credit card
until I make my own money right ??
[03/18/19 09:27:50 AM] Epstein: no, its a very good idea to start now. the fact that you are in medical school will
help.
[03/18/19 09:28:41 AM] Celina Dubin (?): Okay I like it! I do have my own account_but I think it is debit not credit
[03/18/19 09:28:44 AM] Celina Dubin (?): Which is different right?
[03/18/19 09:31:19 AM] Epstein: yes, you should apply for a visa CREDIT card

[03/07/19 04:39:23 AM] Epstein: "The criticism is wrong and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of both the facts
underlying Mr. Epstein's case and how it was prosecuted by both local and federal authorities. Far from a receiving a
sweetheart deal, Mr. Epstein was subjected to a lengthy, aggressive, and highly unusual federal investigation for what
were, in essence, local offenses of sexual solicitation. He accepted responsibility, served time and prison, and paid
significant monetary settlements to the victims involved.

[03/12/19 06:37:07 AM] Bannon (?): The martin act???
[03/12/19 06:37:40 AM] Epstein: Eliott Spitzer is said to have revived the law during his tenure as Attorney General.
[61 In 2001, his office launched a Martin Act investigation against Merrill Lynch for suspected fraud. [61 When the
investigation was made public, Merrill's market value dropped $5 billion in one week. [61 Ultimately, Merill settled,
agreeing to pay a $100 million fine and change the way its analysts are paid to head off possible criminal charges that
it misled investors with tainted stock research.
[03/12/19 06:39:43 AM] Epstein: Criminally, the attorney general may assume a prosecutorial rule to punish both
misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors are punishable by a fine of up to $500 or imprisonment of up to one year, or
both. [21 Felonies carry a penalty of up to four years of imprisonment. [21 Judicial Interpretation

[04/30/19 03:29:13 AM] Bannon (?): Turns out this was about Thursday not yesterday -- he is here then for dinner
[04/30/19 03:40:23 AM] Epstein: as i thought. eric and all employees, wow trump trying to stop deutsch bank only a
matter of time.
[04/30/19 03:41:48 AM] Bannon (?): They won't be able to withhold the docs
[04/30/19 03:42:31 AM] Epstein: of course not. but the dive is s0000 deep. I read the filing
[04/30/19 03:42:47 AM] Bannon (?): How so
[04/30/19 03:43:18 AM] Epstein: all employees. partners. members, for 10 years.
[04/30/19 03:45:58 AM] Bannon (?): His strategy is drag this out for 15 months then it won't matter
[04/30/19 03:47:03 AM] Epstein: yes -- of course
[04/30/19 03:48:41 AM] Epstein: yes, it is a race, they have also asked for too much. so to fully understand it will
take forever, unless weissleburg leads them through it and that would require fed immunity , unlikely to be authorized
by barr. nystate, is the key ,
[04/30/19 03:49:19 AM] Epstein: again unless barr makes weiseblburg a material witness and keeps him away from ny . fun
play
[04/30/19 04:00:19 AM] Epstein: meeting in vienna went as i thought . their view was similar to mine. very . you can
meet when you go to germany.
[04/30/19 04:35:13 AM] Bannon (?): Similar as in 'nobody knows nothing'
[04/30/19 04:36:02 AM] Epstein: case weak not well done can keep them for years
[04/30/19 04:36:22 AM] Bannon (?): Oh on that yes

invitation.

[04/30/19 04:39:19 AM] Epstein: I'm only F and B
[04/30/19 04:39:46 AM] Bannon (?): KSA wants everybody to stay away-- closer inspection only leads to more doubts / head
scratching

wanted more
[04/30/19 05:03:46 AM] Epstein: the christians i met with feel , the media portraying me as beyond redemption is deeply
troubling and offensive
[04/30/19 05:06:05 AM] Bannon (?): Yes yes yes of course -- but we must counter 'rapist who traffics in female children
to be raped by worlds most powerful , richest men'--- that can't be redeemed - - that why we let them blow up the
argument while showing the 12 you redeemed

[05/12/19 04:04:27 AM] Epstein: They have North Korea, 3 trillion in reserves. People that work 29 hours per day. A
command structure that is efficient. Not sure what breaking them means. They will give in , after making many new
friends.
[05/12/19 04:04:57 AM] Epstein: And focusing on trade is a diversion that they love
[05/12/19 04:05:47 AM] Bannon: Its a group of peasants trying to run a world economy-- Xi barely has high school
education , completely panicked when they read thru the deal-- already leaking oil
[05/12/19 04:07:00 AM] Epstein: My meeting the other day was around how these peasants looked into their own systems ,
found the nsa cybertools that we had inserted and then used them against us interests. .
[05/12/19 04:08:01 AM] Epstein: ohh. Yes. , I forgot. We have Steve Mnuchin , and ludlow ,

you could argue ,we broke the whole neighborhood. . South Korea , Japan and china / Long game

[05/13/19 03:04:11 AM] Epstein: These trade conversations are now part of the backdrop of global markets for the next
... 10 to 20 years as these countries and economies work out their relative place in the world and how we reorder the
overall global structure to account for the rise of China, to account for a multi-polar environment," he said.

thinking. . now politics . Markets, cyber. Create Network effects,

guys, wreck havoc on all collaborators in the West

[05/22/19 04:59:23 AM] Epstein: suggest the chinese will try to use this as a reason to explain their bubble in real
estate collapse. . instead of realizing their slavery system is doomed they want an enemy for the people to point to as
reason
[05/22/19 04:59:37 AM] Bannon (?): Fucking genius
[05/22/19 05:01:40 AM] Epstein: this was a calculated move . always intended, they knew trump would walk, 600 million

the overheated system and frighten people into slowing speculation. . there is no alternative to keep cash but real
estate. . no top echelon biz guy can either make new investments in states. and if they want to get money outside the
discount as risen from 10 to 40 %/ . wow

, he had a clear understanding of how great a liability trump could be to Bannon's own vision and career. . - within
minutes of the budget bill passage Bannon began working the phones is goal was to " light him up ". - costa sat at

Keith Schiller lying about how many days in Moscow. Pence and the mother Manipulating meadows. Bossie behind the scenes.
, trump going after jr. I would say most of the book is you and your views
[05/29/19 08:57:28 AM] Epstein: With mueller saying today that he couldn't say trump didn't commit crimes. And that to
charge him would be unfair as he couldn't defend himself but they preserved evidence for when he could , probably will
take the focus off of you and your funny comments,
[05/29/19 10:11:52 AM] Bannon (?): Did mueller just start an impeachment process
[05/29/19 10:14:22 AM] Epstein: I don't believe so , but I can tell you that had he been referring to me or you , and
said I preserved the evidence so that if a time comes when you can defend yourself. It could be used. Im not sure id get
a good night sleep

[06/17/19 04:13:46 AM] Epstein: Just out today in a science journal. OThose who think scientists understand the issues
of prebiotic chemistry are wholly misinformed. Nobody understands them. Maybe one day we will. But that day is far from
today. It would be far more helpful (and hopeful) to expose students to the massive gaps in our understanding. They may
find a firmer-and possibly a radically different-scientific theory. The basis upon which we as scientists are relying is
so shaky that we must openly state the situation for what it is: it is a mystery.
[06/17/19 05:50:15 AM] Bannon (?): Wow: which journal ??
[06/17/19 06:23:42 AM] Epstein: Inference

Found confirmed counterparty Larry Summers for file ID 027777.
[06/14/19 01:45:35 PM] Epstein: in paris, weather great
[06/15/19 06:35:48 AM] Larry Summers: I 11 call bit later. Would u continue to dictating op Ed's for peril? Think she
was off w some guy falling in love w Buddhist art? Not sure who or what.
[06/15/19 06:48:40 AM] Larry Summers: Drake equation probability estimation is garbage in garbage out but this not same
thing as saying concept of a probability is wrong. Do I think meaningful to talk about prob of trump being re-elected or
my getting horizontal w peril which are one shots.
[06/15/19 06:54:47 AM] Epstein: Cannot use the concept of probability with only one example and not a repeated space .
Gromov said its a question his children might ask and hopefully only once !
[06/15/19 06:56:21 AM] Epstein: Ill have red ink on my summer s dollar thank you. -It should be a ten as you did add -
with gusto-jeffrey , that is REALLY stupid
[06/15/19 06:57:46 AM] Larry Summers: Don't know Gromov. This is clearly wrong. Soviet doctrinaire sounds like. Do u
think Question of prob that stock market will rise till end of 2019 is meaningless? You have one strong willed authority
with achievements in some other sphere. So what.
[06/15/19 06:58:41 AM] Larry Summers: U r better at understanding Chinese women than at probability theory. At
understanding movement of money too.
[06/15/19 07:07:53 AM] Epstein: The stock market models as a contiuous function. With a history and many past events .
More like what is the probability you being reincarnated .
[06/15/19 07:09:47 AM] Epstein: Im more concerned that it may be like the probability of you in bed again with peril. .
0
[06/15/19 07:21:46 AM] Larry Summers: Uh oh. Lhopital s rule
[06/15/19 07:33:00 AM] Epstein: Not exactly getting within the limit is NOT the same as IN
[06/15/19 07:34:41 AM] Larry Summers: Just called
[06/15/19 07:47:07 AM] Epstein: Try now
[06/15/19 08:26:49 AM] ___________________: Just tried back
[06/15/19 08:34:09 AM] Larry Summers: U called but I couldn't hear anything
[06/15/19 12:44:21 PM] Epstein:

e=Homepage
[06/15/19 03:37:15 PM] Larry Summers: Got it
[06/15/19 04:54:09 PM] Epstein: Subjective probability is a type of probability derived from an individual's personal
judgment or own experience about whether a specific outcome is likely to occur. It contains no formal calculations and
only reflects the subject's opinions and past experience rather than on data or computation. Subjective probabilities
differ from person to person and contain a high degree of personal bias.
[06/15/19 05:11:12 PM] Larry Summers: This is silly.
[06/15/19 05:13:45 PM] Epstein: Exactly
[06/16/19 07:45:26 AM] Larry Summers: Later. In meantime, strategy w peril?
[06/16/19 07:46:46 AM] Epstein: Continue to dictate -little downside
[06/16/19 07:48:19 AM] Epstein: Re later - you can read up on questions -re life on other planets described as "
subjective probability " ie . Total nonsense
[06/16/19 07:48:35 AM] Epstein: Red ink
[06/16/19 07:51:37 AM] Larry Summers: Sounds like u r pessimistic re peril but agree. I think my injury is kind of
exogenous event u said would change game. On other hand life has lots of bounces.
[06/16/19 07:52:10 AM] Epstein: Not at all. Long game
[06/16/19 07:53:30 AM] Epstein: Im rarely pessimistic, i wonder what the probability is? Or in this case as it is a
binary decision appropriate to use " odds"
[06/16/19 07:57:23 AM] Larry Summers: On subjective probability, I think life on other planets complex example. Is stock
market one continuous event with much Or is this moment unique. If u grant meaningfulness if talking odds on one off
events we are down to semantics. Where u say odds I say subjective probability. If u are rarely pessimistic does that
discredit your optimism. Suppose instead of peril it was dunking a basketball or going to an island w Angela Jolie
[06/16/19 08:04:21 AM] __________________: ?
[06/16/19 08:06:22 AM] Epstein: Odds are limited to binary outcomes. . since you are immobile. Do some homework. . I
concede your point on pessimism but would under bayesian rules. Feel comfortable. As humans are biased toward bad
outcome avoidance. . She is never ever going to find another Larry summers. Probability ZERO
[06/16/19 08:16:09 AM] Larry Summers: That can't be right. There are odds on dem nominee w many outcomes possible. For
objective or subjective probability u need well defined events.
[06/16/19 12:55:05 PM] Epstein: When are you able to walk again without crutches. Its wholly impolite for me to mentally
attack a cripple
[06/16/19 12:57:14 PM] Epstein: Handicapped , not cripple
[06/16/19 01:15:31 PM] Larry Summers: 6 or 7 weeks.
[06/16/19 01:16:45 PM] Epstein: On tues. I 11 have the math professor explain to you some things. And then wait until
you are unable to claim your arguments were driven by the high level of pain killers. . on peril. Forced holding pattern
in your interest
[06/16/19 01:21:58 PM] Larry Summers: Why in my interest. Odds of success. I think another encounter at some point one
third. Sustained series one fifth. Best shot for me. She gives up on marriage. Finds me invaluable and interesting and
get her to conclude she can't have it without romance/sex without deciding I'm weak or vengeful
[06/16/19 01:26:05 PM] Epstein: Over time. She is doomed to be with you
[06/16/19 01:27:02 PM] Larry Summers: Unless she marries someone else. She is more monogamous than most
[06/16/19 01:28:22 PM] Epstein: Painkillers?
[06/16/19 01:47:00 PM] Larry Summers: Not for me??
[06/16/19 01:47:53 PM] Epstein: Your views formed by your meds?
[06/16/19 09:01:18 PM] Larry Summers: Not formed by meds. Other than being a Bayesian rather than a pure math freak
which wrong view do I have
[06/17/19 02:21:14 AM] Epstein: She continues to be in contact
[06/17/19 02:22:23 AM] Epstein: Things are good - davos is set for you / she is there because program person is chinese
[06/17/19 02:22:35 AM] Epstein: Funny
[06/17/19 05:33:18 AM] Larry Summers: Thx re davos. Happy to help re g20
[06/23/19 11:09:56 PM] Epstein: How are you
[06/24/19 02:05:02 AM] Epstein: If Bernie were to cancel all student debt. . how Is that reflected on govt books/ ?
[06/24/19 02:05:13 AM] Epstein: Do the borrowers get income?
[06/24/19 02:20:43 AM] Larry Summers: I doubt borrowers get income but not certain. If they did many who struggle w debt
service would get a whopping tax bill. I suspect a balance sheet impact but not a deficit impact. Depends on whether
it's framed as a give away or recognition of reality.
[06/24/19 03:34:39 AM] Epstein: How's the rehab. ?
[06/24/19 03:36:24 AM] Epstein: My mathemactics guys. All said the propensity of the common man to put numbers on things
where they don't belong is the answer to the odds probability questions et.
[06/24/19 03:40:53 AM] Epstein: Send peril flowers
[06/24/19 04:13:47 AM] Larry Summers: Your math guys are not that worldly. I 11 call u later
[06/24/19 09:56:28 AM] Epstein: Ok
[06/30/19 04:25:52 AM] Epstein: ?? U ok?
[06/30/19 04:27:03 AM] Larry Summers: Yes. Sorry I will update you on developments. Will Ehud Be PM
[06/30/19 04:28:53 AM] Epstein: 331 441 70210. Doubtful. But 1. He is not to be underestimated. 2. Unlikely top job. But
depends on coalition. 3. Driving me crazy
[06/30/19 09:27:53 AM] Epstein: ?
[06/30/19 11:35:11 AM] Larry Summers: Tried back
[06/30/19 11:39:15 AM] Epstein: I just tried back
[06/30/19 11:53:56 AM] Epstein: Try again
[07/05/19 10:39:45 AM] Epstein: All good?
[07/05/19 10:46:39 AM] Larry Summers: At cape w mother brothers kids and nephews nieces. Bit of an Ibsen play.
[07/05/19 10:46:57 AM] Larry Summers: With perspective all good.
[07/05/19 10:47:02 AM] Epstein: Better than checov
[07/05/19 10:47:40 AM] Larry Summers: Then I may misunderstand checov.
[07/05/19 10:47:46 AM] Larry Summers: Or Ibsen
[07/05/19 10:50:07 AM] Epstein: E. J. Dillon thought "the effect on the reader of Chekhov's tales was repulsion at the
gallery of human waste represented by his fickle, spineless, drifting people"
[07/05/19 10:54:34 AM] Epstein: "The Lady with the Dog"[91] (also translated from the Russian as "Lady with Lapdog"),
[921 which depicts what at first seems a casual liaison between a cynical married man and a woman who meet while
holidaying in Yalta. Neither expects anything lasting from the encounter. Unexpectedly though, they gradually fall
deeply in love and end up risking scandal and the security of their family lives. The story masterfully captures their
feelings for each other, the inner transformation undergone by the disillusioned male protagonist as a result of falling
deeply in love, and their inability to resolve the matter by either letting go of their families or of each other. [931
[07/05/19 12:13:27 PM] Larry Summers: Jesus!!!!
[07/05/19 12:14:24 PM] Epstein: I think you meant. Budhha
[07/05/19 01:27:01 PM] Larry Summers: Ha

│ For Federal Programs, a Taste of Market Discipline │
│ By DAVID LEONHARDT │
│ Published: February 8, 2011 │
│ Wouldn't it be nice if taxpayers could somehow get a refund for government programs that didn't work? │
│ Instead, the opposite tends to happen. Programs that fail to make a difference — like many of those that train │
│ workers for new jobs — endure indefinitely. Often, policy makers don't even know which work and which │
│ don't, because rigorous evaluation is rare in government. And competition, which punishes laggards in the │
│ private sector, is typically absent in the public sector. │
│ But there is some good news on this front. Lately, both American and British policy makers have been thinking │
│ about how to bring some of the competitive discipline of the market to government programs, and they have hit │
│ on an intriguing idea. │
│ David Cameron's Conservative government in Britain is already testing it, at a prison 75 miles north of London. │
│ The Bloomberg administration in New York is also considering the idea, as is the State of Massachusetts. │
│ Perhaps most notably, President Obama next week will propose setting aside $100 million for seven such pilot │
│ programs, according to an administration official. │
│ The idea goes by one of two names: pay for success bonds or social impact bonds. Either way, nonprofit groups │
│ like foundations pay the initial money for a new program and also oversee it, with government approval. The │
│ government will reimburse them several years later, possibly with a bonus — but only if agreed-upon │
│ benchmarks show that the program is working. │
│ If it falls short, taxpayers owe nothing. │
│ The first British test is happening at Her Majesty's Prison Peterborough, where 60 percent of the prisoners are │
│ convicted of another crime within one year of release. Depressingly enough, that recidivism rate is typical for a │
│ British prison. │
│ To reduce the rate, a nonprofit group named Social Finance is playing a role akin to venture capitalist. It has │
│ raised about $8 million from investors, including the Rockefeller Foundation. Social Finance also oversees three │
│ social service groups helping former prisoners find work, stay healthy and the like. If any of those groups │
│ starts │
│ to miss its performance goals, it can be replaced. │
│ For the investors to get their money back starting in 2014 — with interest — the recidivism rate must fall at │
│ least 7.5 percent, relative to a control group. If the rate falls 10 percent, the investors will receive the sort │
│ of │
│ return that the stock market historically delivers. "It's been only a few months," says Tracy Palandjian, who │
│ recently opened a new Social Finance office in Boston, "but the numbers are coming in O.K." │
│ Antony Bugg-Levine of the Rockefeller Foundation told me it had invested in the project for two main reasons. │
│ One, it expected to get its money back and then be able to reuse it. Two, if social impact bonds work, they have │
│ the potential to attract for-profit investors — and vastly expand the pool of capital that's available for social │
│ programs. │
│ Clearly, social impact bonds have limitations. For starters, it's hard to see how private money could ever pay │
│ for │
│ multibillion-dollar programs like Medicaid or education. │
│ Just as important, the execution of any bond program will be complicated. It will depend on coming up with the │
│ right performance measures, which is no small matter. Done wrong, the measures will end up rewarding │
│ programs lucky (or clever) enough to enroll participants who are more likely to succeed no matter what. │
│ But whatever the caveats about the bonds, the potential for improving the government's performance is │
│ obviously huge. That's true in education, health care, criminal justice and many other areas. │
│ A recent review found that 10 major social programs had been rigorously evaluated over the past two decades, │
│ using the scientific gold standard of random assignment. Only one of the 10 — Early Head Start, for infants, │
│ toddlers pregnant women — was a clear success. Yet all 10 still exist, and largely in their original form. │
│ Jon Baron, the president of the Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy in Washington, points out that the social │
│ problems addressed by antipoverty programs have not gotten much better in years. School test scores have │
│ barely changed. College graduation rates for low-income students have stagnated. The poverty rate is as high as │
│ it was in 1981. Median household income is lower than it was in 1998. │
│ "If we just keep funding social programs the way we have been," Mr. Baron says, "there's not a lot of reason to │
│ think we'll have much success." │
│ The Obama administration's seven pilot programs would create bonds for, among other areas, job training, │
│ education, juvenile justice and care of children's disabilities. Nonprofit groups like Social Finance could │
│ apply. │
│ So could for-profit companies, said the White House official, who asked not to be named because the president │
│ had not yet released next year's budget. The $100 million for the bonds would come out of the budgets of other │
│ programs, to stay consistent with Mr. Obama's announced freeze on non-security spending. │
│ Officials in Massachusetts and New York are looking at similar ideas but have not yet decided whether they │
│ will issue bonds. │
│ Beyond the impact of any single program, the bonds have the potential to nudge all government agencies to pay │
│ more attention to results. Mr. Obama, after all, campaigned as a reformer who wanted to create a sleek, efficient │
│ "iPod government." He has had some success, like the expansion of a program — backed by years of solid │
│ evidence — in which nurses go to the homes of new at-risk parents to counsel them. │
│ Over all, though, the administration has not done enough to improve government efficiency. Put it this way: If │
│ someone asked you how Mr. Obama had made government work better, would you have an answer? │
│ Making government work better will be all the more important in the years ahead. The free market is not going │
│ to solve many of our biggest problems, be it stagnant pay or spotty medical care. And government — in │
│ Washington and locally — is going to be financially squeezed for a long time. │
│ There never was a good excuse for wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that didn't work. But now, │
│ especially, there's no excuse. │

│ Trump in talks to buy socialite Kluge's Charlottesville vineyard │
│ and estate │
│ By Annie Gowen and Steve Yanda │
│ Washington Post Staff Writers │
│ Wednesday, February 16, 2011; 10:47 PM │
│ Embattled Virginia socialite and winemaker Patricia Kluge may have found a white knight to preserve her │
│ Charlottesville │
│ empire - real estate mogul Donald Trump. │
│ Trump's business adviser said Wednesday that Trump was negotiating to buy not only Kluge's grand estate, │
│ Albemarle │
│ House, which a bank foreclosed on in January, but all of Kluge's former real estate holdings outside │
│ Charlottesville near │
│ Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate. │
│ Those include 200 acres of land adjacent to the estate that once had a nine-hole golf course designed by Arnold │
│ Palmer, │
│ a 900-acre vineyard and a failed real estate development where Kluge had planned to market luxury "farmettes" │
│ with their │
│ own grapevines. │
│ Leslie Goldman, a Washington-based adviser to Trump, said it would be "premature to speculate" what Trump had │
│ planned for the area, but said the land has "significant historical value and potential for development." │
│ "Obviously, the more acreage, the more pieces you acquire, the more possibilities there are," he said. │
│ Trump has already made forays into Virginia real estate. In 2009, he purchased a 600-acre golf club along the │
│ Potomac │
│ River in Loudoun County and renamed it the Trump National Golf Club. He raised the ire of local environmentalists │
│ last │
│ summer after the club removed hundreds of trees that it claimed threatened the shoreline. │
│ Trump's representative appeared at a foreclosure auction of Kluge's large estate on the courthouse steps in │
│ downtown │
│ Charlottesville Wednesday morning, where a crowd of about 50 lawyers and curiosity seekers had gathered. │
│ In the past year, Kluge's travails have become well-known around Charlottesville, where over the last two decades │
│ the │
│ British-born socialite has cut a glamorous - and sometimes controversial - figure. │
│ In 1999 she founded what became a well-respected vineyard on land around her grand house, which she had received │
│ as │
│ part of a high-profile divorce settlement in 1990 from John Kluge, the late media mogul who was once the │
│ country's richest │
│ man. │
│ Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard won accolades for sparkling wines - served at the White House and at Chelsea │
│ Clinton's wedding last summer - and a blended red called New World Red. Kluge and her third husband, retired IBM │
│ executive William Moses, worked to promote not only their own wine brand but the growing Virginia wine industry │
│ as a │
│ whole. │
│ But in the past two years, following some aggressive expansion of the winery and the failure of the housing │
│ development, │
│ Kluge fell upon hard times. Credit problems forced her to sell off her jewelry and extensive collection of art │
│ and antiques │
│ last year. She lost the vineyard at a foreclosure auction in December. │
│ Kluge had initially tried to sell Albemarle House - which the Sotheby's listing calls "one of the most important │
│ residences in │
│ the United States since the Golden Age" - for $100 million, but when no buyer came forward the price was │
│ ultimately │
│ slashed to $24 million. The eight-bedroom home has its own movie theater, wine grotto, swimming pool and helipad. │
│ At Wednesday's auction, Bank of America, Kluge's creditor, took full ownership of the property with a bid of │
│ $15.26 million. │
│ But Trump holds what the lawyers called a "right of first refusal" to buy the property at a later date. │
│ Kluge and Moses declined to comment directly on yesterday's events, but both have said they have been working │
│ diligently with their lawyers over the last several months to help save their business. │
│ The Trump organization had been working closely with Kluge and Moses on the deal, but how the partnership will │
│ play out │
│ - if they would have a future role at what would be Trump's vineyard - remained unclear Wednesday. │
│ "They've been working together with the objective of trying to preserve the vineyard for the benefit of the │
│ Virginia wine │
│ industry," Goldman said. "If it all comes together, it may provide them an opportunity to continue to stay │
│ involved in their │
│ life's work." │
│ Yanda reported from Charlottesville. Staff researcher Magda Jean-Louis also contributed to this report. │

│ Denis McDhimmi │
│ White House National Security Adviser Speaks to Hamas-Linked Group │
│ Bill Siegel │
│ On March 6, in anticipation of Congressional hearings on domestic radicalization, Deputy National Security │
│ Adviser │
│ Denis McDonough stated the following: │
│ "President Obama recognizes that through our words and deeds we can either play into al Qaeda's narrative and │
│ messaging or we can challenge it and thereby undermine it. We're determined to undermine it. For example, we │
│ know there are many different reasons why individuals—from many different faiths—succumb to terrorist │
│ ideologies. And there is no one easy profile of a terrorist. But based on extensive investigations, research and │
│ profiles of the violent extremists we've captured or arrested, and who falsely claim to be fighting in the name │
│ of │
│ Islam, we know that they all share one thing—they all believe that the United States is somehow at war with │
│ Islam, and that this justifies violence against Americans. So we are actively and aggressively undermining that │
│ ideology. We're exposing the lie that America and Islam are somehow in conflict. That is why President Obama │
│ has stated time and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam." │
│ This statement encapsulates so much of what this writer has identified as the "Control Factor:" that function of │
│ our minds which will distort our perceptions so as not to present ourselves with the ever so fearful reality that │
│ confronts us under the banner of Islam today. That is, rather than to clearly see, focus upon, and set about to │
│ create strategies to properly confront the threat which we currently face- a threat that by definition we do not │
│ control and see little way over which to regain control- our minds essentially collude to reconstruct in a manner │
│ which deludes us with the sense that we are in control. │
│ 1. The statement essentially reduces the threat we face to that of terrorism caused by al-Qaeda. By defining and │
│ limiting the threat to a band of "radical extremists" who have distorted the doctrine of a great religion, we buy │
│ into the sense that our military might and criminal detection methods will ultimately save the day. The fantasy │
│ is │
│ that this is a problem that we can get our arms around because under our Constitutional principles, terrorism is │
│ a │
│ violation that we are permitted to fight against. │
│ Yet terrorism is only one of three levels upon which the threat is attacking us and al-Qaeda is only a piece of │
│ the │
│ terrorism level. The second level, the "Civilization Jihad," a term used by the Muslim Brotherhood itself to │
│ describe its long term effort to peaceably infiltrate American and Western society at all levels in order to │
│ bring it │
│ down from the inside through the freedoms that Western Constitutions afford, is well at work and in process │
│ today. This has also been called the "Stealth Jihad." │
│ There is a third level, the "International Institutional Jihad," upon which organizations such as the UN, along │
│ with │
│ its 57 Member State bloc the Organization of the Islamic Conference, work to push through those principles of │
│ Sharia Law and Islamic doctrine which it Members can agree upon such as the 1990 Cairo Declaration of Human │
│ Rights which is fully at odds with U.S. Constitutional tenets. Once these principles become international │
│ standards, the institutions seek to push them into Western societies through treaties and trade deals over which │
│ the Members have leverage. │
│ McDonough's words, by limiting the threat to Al Qaeda, intentionally ignore the other levels of threat which, for │
│ all intents and purposes can be even more dangerous because our Constitution does not afford us easy means to │
│ combat. Nor does our desired general sense of morality. │
│ 2. By focusing on "reasons" for this terrorist piece of the pie, the Control Factor further sets out the │
│ narrative │
│ that we can gain control over the problem. By looking for "root causes," we advance the notion that by │
│ eliminating or reducing those elements we can eliminate the symptom-terrorism. This is part of a long-engaged │
│ Leftist narrative that has been utilized across a vast array of social problems in order to gain control over │
│ funding │
│ and policy. Now, it is being used to avoid seeing a problem clearly, much less addressing it intelligently. │
│ It is this administration's (and also, unfortunately, many members of Bush's as well) distortion to frame │
│ terrorism │
│ as a result of victimhood. That is, by establishing the root causes of terrorism as either a response to U.S. │
│ policy, │
│ to economic conditions, to Israeli occupation, and so on, the Control Factor sells the buried wish that since we │
│ cause the conditions, we can fix the symptom without the grueling costs of war and confrontation. When both │
│ sides collude in this form of narrative, we allow it to continue and grow. Yet placing the cause of the problem │
│ within ourselves is false and strips us of the proper incentive to stand up and fight against a threat that │
│ simply │
│ seeks our destruction no matter what we do. │
│ 3. McDonough fights the enemy's battle for us in the simple phrase of those "who falsely claim to be fighting in │
│ the name of Islam." Here, the Control Factor refuses to accept what the enemy has repeatedly made clear—there │
│ is a Holy War between Islam and the Western world, it has been declared by a significant faction of Muslims and │
│ agreed upon by many more either explicitly or through silence and omission, and the war is defined by the enemy │
│ itself under the banner of Islam to seek the destruction of Western society as it is and to replace it with a │
│ Sharia │
│ based global Islamic Ummah. This is what the enemy says itself. The Control Factor tells us that this can not be, │
│ that Islam is a "peaceful" and "great" religion that has been "hijacked" by a few "crazies" and that most │
│ Muslims worldwide are much like us peace loving Westerners who seek a world based on mutual tolerance. If │
│ there is any "war," it emanates from those of us Westerners who are "racists," "bigots," or otherwise and fail to │
│ acknowledge the realities of the Muslim peoples. The critical issue here is that the Control Factor, as expressed │
│ through McDonough, takes full responsibility for defining Islam and identifying the enemy. The enemy, however, │
│ defines itself and needs to identify itself both through its actions, its words, and importantly what it does not │
│ do │
│ and say. │
│ This "transfer of responsibility" from the enemy to ourselves that McDonough's words so freely take on is │
│ symptomatic of the deep addictive style the West has adopted to avoid hard confrontation. Once again, the │
│ Control Factor utilizes Western guilt to define the conflict as resulting from improper acts of its own. It then │
│ seeks to redeem itself by accommodating the enemy. This shows up in America's dealings with Islam as well as │
│ the "Israeli-Palestinian Conflict;" responsibility for the problem is transferred to the West or Israel in a │
│ grand │
│ psychological effort to avoid facing the terrors and costs of hard confrontation, terror, or war. And in each │
│ example, as with all psychological defenses, the defense creates the very conditions it seeks to avoid. Until the │
│ West is fully able to place responsibility back upon the Islamic world for the actions it takes and omits to │
│ take, │
│ the West will only dig itself deeper into a weaker position. Unfortunately, the game of guilt gives us no │
│ guidance │
│ as to how it is to end; when enough has been repaid. Instead, it is geared to continue indefinitely. │
│ 4. McDonough's statement that the U.S. is not at war with Islam is a pleasant Control Factor fantasy but does │
│ little to eliminate the fact that the enemy has declared it so. We can walk away and pretend there is no war, │
│ follow the deceptive words of those in this country engaged in the Civilization Jihad who attack us for any │
│ response to the war other than bending over backwards to accommodate Islam and tolerate that which does not │
│ tolerate anything other than itself. Yet that path leads only to further the cause of the enemy. │
│ 5. Perhaps most telling of all of McDonough's statement is the word "never." To claim we will never be at war │
│ with Islam regardless of what Islam or Muslims worldwide do to us is the height of Dhimmitude—a phrase coined │
│ by Bat Yeor, an expert on Dhimmi behavior throughout Islamic history. In Islam, a Dhimmi is generally a Jew or │
│ Christian (there are others) who has agreed to accept a lesser and humiliating status with duties including the │
│ payment of a special tax, in exchange for life in an Islamic controlled land. It is a protection contract: you │
│ can │
│ live as long as you abide by these conditions. In claiming that we could "never" be at war with Islam, McDonough │
│ has staked out Dhimmi status for all non-Muslims in the U.S. and has put words to the famous act of Obama in │
│ bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia. │
│ By denying that we are at war with Islam, McDonough has admitted that those words have meaning, just that │
│ they do not fit U.S. policy. By denying that the U.S. would ever be at war with Islam, McDonough has sent the │
│ message of unconditional surrender in advance. This is pure Control Factor maneuvering and threatens our nation │
│ worse than the underlying threat itself. Put simply, our Constitution does not afford us easy ways to combat the │
│ threat we face- we can fight certain types of terrorism in certain (albeit still under great dispute) ways yet we │
│ have no effective means to combat the Civilization Jihad and are fast losing leverage to resist the International │
│ Institutional Jihad. Unless and until we all obtain better control over our Control Factors so that we can │
│ develop │
│ sufficient acceptable means to fight on these levels, we are headed to self-destruction. │

│ Jeffrey and Ghislaine: Notes on New York's Oddest Alliance │
│ <http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2on/o3/notes-on- │
│ new-yorks-oddest-couple-jeffrey-epstein-and-ghislaine- │
│ maxwell.html> │
│ by Vicky Ward <http://www.vanityfair.com/contributors/vicky-ward> │
│ "I've got a story idea for you. The rebuilding of Indonesia. Or New Orleans. Or both. Go there. I've just been. │
│ You will never think the same way about anything again." │
│ So spoke not Bill or Melinda Gates, but Ghislaine Maxwell, the 48-year-old woman being written up │
│ everywhere at the moment as the alleged "procurer" of young women for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Epstein, 57, is the financier who spent a year in jail on charges of soliciting prostitutes—and now there is talk │
│ of │
│ another investigation because various women, now in their twenties and thirties, have come forward with │
│ allegations that he molested them when they were under-age. The allegations first surfaced in British │
│ newspapers, which have zeroed in on Epstein's friendship with Prince Andrew, who has recently tried to │
│ publicly disassociate himself from his old pal. │
│ I wrote a piece for Vanity Fair in 2003 called "The Talented Mr. Epstein." It was largely a business piece that │
│ focused on his mysterious exit from Bear Stearns in 1981, his close relationships with Jimmy Cayne, Les │
│ Wexner, the chairman of Limited Brands, and above all, the man who claimed to be his mentor, Steven Jude │
│ Hoffenberg, who is currently serving a 20-year-jail sentence for bilking investors in Towers Financial out of │
│ $450 million. │
│ The piece alluded to Epstein's great friendship with Maxwell, and how she introduced him to young women │
│ with whom he had sexual relationships. But, in the end, the story didn't really go there, focusing instead on the │
│ issue that remains a mystery—how Jeffrey made his money, and how Ghislaine made hers. │
│ This is not to say I didn't hear stories about the girls. I did. But, not knowing quite who to believe, I │
│ concentrated on the intriguing financial mystery instead. But now the women have come back. Not the same │
│ ones, different ones. And their stories are bone-chilling. Journalists from England have phoned—and, in one │
│ case, flown—to ask me about Epstein and Maxwell. Who is he? And the British, especially, want to know: Who │
│ is she? At this point, I am so bored of repeating myself to others—it was, after all, my 2003 Vanity Fairstory │
│ that really brought him into the limelight—that I have decided to write about this myself. │
│ Bizarrely, perhaps, I have gotten to know Jeffrey and Ghislaine far better after my piece than before it. I kept │
│ running into both of them, separately, at parties. Jeffrey is not a social animal so he usually has a couple of │
│ young women with him who stand two feet behind him, as if serving a monarch. "Do they speak?" I remember │
│ 1 │
│ asking him once, nodding at his lookalike blondes. He laughed. "Not like you,Vicky," was his riposte. │
│ I remembered that when we'd once discussed math—in particular, an isosceles triangle—and I revealed I hadn't │
│ studied math since I was 14 (such is, or was, the way of the British educational system), I received a package at │
│ home via messenger. It was a book: "Math for idiots." │
│ So he is not without humor, even though he doesn't drink or smoke, and hates restaurants. │
│ "Jeffrey knows a good deal about most subjects," newspaper publisher Mort Zuckerman told me last week. He │
│ was certainly preaching to the converted. The truth is, Epstein does know a lot about a lot of things. Just a few │
│ moments in his company and you know this to be true. │
│ When I saw pictures of Prince Andrew walking in Central Park with Jeffrey, my immediate thought was that │
│ "Andy"—as Jeffrey calls him—is probably asking for help with his role as British trade envoy, or whatever his │
│ strange title is. Because if one thing's for sure: When it comes to international business, Jeffrey knows what │
│ he's talking about far more than "Andy" does. Which is why Leon Black, Mort Zuckerman and a few other │
│ financiers hang out with him. │
│ And Ghislaine? │
│ Full disclosure: I like her. Most people in New York do. It's almost impossible not to. │
│ She is always the most interesting, the most vivacious, the most unusual person in any room. I've spent hours │
│ talking to her about the third world at a bar until 2am. She is as passionate as she is knowledgeable. She is │
│ curious. She has spent weeks at the bottom of the ocean, literally going deeper than anyone else. She has sent │
│ me a DVD of the fish there. Her rolodex would blow away almost anyone else's I can think of—probably even │
│ Rupert Murdochs'. She is very well-read and can talk about most things for hours. She is passionate about Bill │
│ Clinton with whom she is close friends. │
│ Yet, touchingly, when she had to give a speech at the 40th birthday party of her best friend, Ariadne Calvo- │
│ Platero, (known fondly to her close friends as "the Tennis Goddess") Ghislaine shook a little with nerves. When │
│ it comes down to things she really cares about—and Ariadne is one of them—Ghislaine shows her vulnerability. │
│ And that vulnerability is key to understanding her friendship with Jeffrey. │
│ "He saved her," I remember a close friend of mine telling me. "When her father died, she was a wreck; │
│ inconsolable. And then Jeffrey took her in. She's never forgotten that—and never will." │
│ In many ways, the socially awkward Epstein with his big house, plane, island and ranch was the perfect │
│ replacement for her father, the late Robert Maxwell, newspaper tycoon and criminal. Sure, Jeffrey had his │
│ sexual pecadillos, but then Ghislaine's father was not without his oddities. After all, it was he who died │
│ leaving │
│ a massive "black hole" he'd fraudulently created. To Ghislaine, Jeffrey's habits may not have seemed that │
│ strange. │
│ In fact, she probably figured, rather like I have, after years of writing about he very rich, that most │
│ successful │
│ people in the end either have some weird habit (the late Bruce Wasserstein had the weight issues, the girl │
│ issues, and moved countries to avoid paying tax), or they break the law (Sam Waksal, Martha Stewart.) You │
│ don't tend to get to the top by being the world's most balanced human being. Even the folksy Warren Buffett │
│ didn't quite manage a normal life—whatever that is. He had a second "wife" for many years whose existence he │
│ has been open about. │
│ So what to make of the current fuss over Ghislaine? I haven't spoken to her or to Jeffrey, but I suspect that her │
│ loyalty to friends like Bill Clinton will keep her in good stead, in the end, she'll be out and about as always. │
│ Look │
│ at Waksal and Stewart. No one sees them and thinks: criminal. Au contraire. In this city, money makes up for │
│ all sorts of blemishes. │

│ "I've got a story idea for you. The rebuilding of Indonesia. Or New Orleans. Or both. Go there. I've just been. │
│ You will │
│ never think the same way about anything again." │
│ So spoke not Bill or Melinda Gates, but Ghislaine Maxwell, the 48-year-old woman being written up everywhere at │
│ the moment as the alleged "procurer" of young women for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Epstein, 57, is the financier who spent a year in jail on charges of soliciting prostitutes —and now there is │
│ talk of │
│ another investigation because various women, now in their twenties and thirties, have come forward with │
│ allegations │
│ that he molested them when they were under-age. The allegations first surfaced in British newspapers, which have │
│ zeroed in on Epstein's friendship with Prince Andrew, who has recently tried to publicly disassociate himself │
│ from his │
│ old pal. │
│ I wrote a piece for Vanity Fair in 2003 called "The Talented Mr. Epstein." It was largely a business piece that │
│ focused │
│ on his mysterious exit from Bear Stearns in 1981, his close relationships with Jimmy Cayne, Les Wexner, the │
│ chairman of Limited Brands, and above all, the man who claimed to be his mentor, Steven Jude Hoffenberg, who is │
│ currently serving a 20-year-jail sentence for bilking investors in Towers Financial out of $450 million. │
│ The piece alluded to Epstein's great friendship with Maxwell, and how she introduced him to young women with │
│ whom he had sexual relationships. But, in the end, the story didn't really go there, focusing instead on the │
│ issue that │
│ remains a mystery—how Jeffrey made his money, and how Ghislaine made hers. │
│ This is not to say I didn't hear stories about the girls. I did. But, not knowing quite who to believe, I │
│ concentrated on │
│ the intriguing financial mystery instead. But now the women have come back. Not the same ones, different ones. │
│ And │
│ their stories are bone-chilling. Journalists from England have phoned—and, in one case, flown—to ask me about │
│ Epstein and Maxwell. Who is he? And the British, especially, want to know: Who is she? At this point, I am so │
│ bored │
│ of repeating myself to others—it was, after all, my 2003 Vanity Fairstory that really brought him into the │
│ limelight │
│ —that I have decided to write about this myself. │
│ Bizarrely, perhaps, I have gotten to know Jeffrey and Ghislaine far better after my piece than before it. I kept │
│ running │
│ into both of them, separately, at parties. Jeffrey is not a social animal so he usually has a couple of young │
│ women with │
│ him who stand two feet behind him, as if serving a monarch. "Do they speak?" I remember asking him once, nodding │
│ at his lookalike blondes. He laughed. "Not like you,Vicky," was his riposte. │
│ I remembered that when we'd once discussed math—in particular, an isosceles triangle—and I revealed I hadn't │
│ studied math since I was 14 (such is, or was, the way of the British educational system), I received a package at │
│ home │
│ via messenger. It was a book: "Math for idiots." │
│ So he is not without humor, even though he doesn't drink or smoke, and hates restaurants. │
│ "Jeffrey knows a good deal about most subjects," newspaper publisher Mort Zuckerman told me last week. He was │
│ certainly preaching to the converted. The truth is, Epstein does know a lot about a lot of things. Just a few │
│ moments │
│ in his company and you know this to be true. │
│ When I saw pictures of Prince Andrew walking in Central Park with Jeffrey, my immediate thought was that "Andy" │
│ —as Jeffrey calls him—is probably asking for help with his role as British trade envoy, or whatever his strange │
│ title is. │
│ Because if one thing's for sure: When it comes to international business, Jeffrey knows what he's talking about │
│ far │
│ more than "Andy" does. Which is why Leon Black, Mort Zuckerman and a few other financiers hang out with him. │
│ And Ghislaine? │
│ Full disclosure: I like her. Most people in New York do. It's almost impossible not to. │
│ She is always the most interesting, the most vivacious, the most unusual person in any room. I've spent hours │
│ talking │
│ to her about the third world at a bar until 2am. She is as passionate as she is knowledgeable. She is curious. │
│ She has │
│ spent weeks at the bottom of the ocean, literally going deeper than anyone else. She has sent me a DVD of the │
│ fish │
│ there. Her rolodex would blow away almost anyone else's I can think of—probably even Rupert Murdochs'. She is │
│ very well-read and can talk about most things for hours. She is passionate about Bill Clinton with whom she is │
│ close │
│ friends. │
│ Yet, touchingly, when she had to give a speech at the 40th birthday party of her best friend, Ariadne │
│ Calvo-Platero, │
│ (known fondly to her close friends as "the Tennis Goddess") Ghislaine shook a little with nerves. When it comes │
│ down to things she really cares about—and Ariadne is one of them—Ghislaine shows her vulnerability. │
│ And that vulnerability is key to understanding her friendship with Jeffrey. │
│ "He saved her," I remember a close friend of mine telling me. "When her father died, she was a wreck; │
│ inconsolable. │
│ And then Jeffrey took her in. She's never forgotten that—and never will." │
│ In many ways, the socially awkward Epstein with his big house, plane, island and ranch was the perfect │
│ replacement │
│ for her father, the late Robert Maxwell, newspaper tycoon and criminal. Sure, Jeffrey had his sexual pecadillos, │
│ but │
│ then Ghislaine's father was not without his oddities. After all, it was he who died leaving a massive "black │
│ hole" he'd │
│ fraudulently created. To Ghislaine, Jeffrey's habits may not have seemed that strange. │
│ In fact, she probably figured, rather like I have, after years of writing about he very rich, that most │
│ successful people │
│ in the end either have some weird habit (the late Bruce Wasserstein had the weight issues, the girl issues, and │
│ moved │
│ countries to avoid paying tax), or they break the law (Sam Waksal, Martha Stewart.) You don't tend to get to the │
│ top │
│ by being the world's most balanced human being. Even the folksy Warren Buffett didn't quite manage a normal life │
│ —whatever that is. He had a second "wife" for many years whose existence he has been open about. │
│ So what to make of the current fuss over Ghislaine? I haven't spoken to her or to Jeffrey, but I suspect that her │
│ loyalty │
│ to friends like Bill Clinton will keep her in good stead, in the end, she'll be out and about as always. Look at │
│ Waksal │
│ and Stewart. No one sees them and thinks: criminal. Au contraire. In this city, money makes up for all sorts of │
│ blemishes. │

│ Jeffrey Epstein's Society Friends Close Ranks │
│ by Alexandra Wolfe │
│ Alexandra Wolfe is a former contributing editor to Conde Nast Portfolio. She has written for publications │
│ including the New York Times, New York magazine, the New York Observer, and the Wall Street Journal, │
│ where she wrote design and lifestyle features for the Weekend Journal section. Before that, she was a reporter │
│ at the New York Observer. She is currently working on a book called American Coddle, about America's │
│ culture of entitlement. │
│ X Close │
│ No, back then Epstein was mid-makeover. He had monarchy in-house and famous faces at his table. Former │
│ Bear Stearns CEO James Cayne had just endorsed Epstein on his science foundation's website (which has been │
│ since removed). It seemed Epstein had joined the ranks of former President Clinton, director Roman Polanski, │
│ and former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, whose sex scandals faded in comparison with their celebrity. │
│ The conventional wisdom among his friends was that Epstein has been victimized by greedy, morally dubious │
│ teenage girls and unscrupulous lawyers. "I've never condoned paying for sex, but if the young lady lied about │
│ her age it's her own fault," explained one socialite, who along with hedge-fund manager Wilbur Ross and real- │
│ estate magnate Leon Black hobnobbed with Epstein at a Southampton movie screening just two months after │
│ his release from "community control" in Florida. │
│ Much of Epstein's entrée into New York society can be credited to Ghislaine Maxwell, the superbly well- │
│ connected daughter of the late press magnate Robert Maxwell. Epstein started dating her in the 1990s. The │
│ romantic relationship ended after a few years, but they have remained close ever since. Last week two victims │
│ publicly alleged that Ghislaine procured them for Epstein, one at age 15 from a Mar-a-Lago country club locker │
│ room. Virginia Roberts, now 27, who was Epstein's sexual plaything for several years, told the Mail on │
│ Sunday. "Ghislaine sent me to a dentist to have my teeth whitened and I went for Brazilian waxes. He wanted │
│ me to look pre-pubescent." │
│ Now, New York friends are suddenly hesitant to talk about Maxwell. "She's a high-end 'fixer'," and so what? │
│ they ask. "No one in café society gives a damn that a 15-year-old girl gives massages," says one frequent │
│ charity-benefit guest. "She gets people into parties and runs around for a lot of people." As to the fallout from │
│ her association with Epstein, he says, "If you're Mike Huckabee it would matter but not if you're Ghislaine │
│ Maxwell." │
│ The crowd at the events top publicist Peggy Siegal has organized for Epstein proves the point, at least behind │
│ closed doors. "I and many others that know him describe him as brilliant," says Siegal. "His unique mind is │
│ what attracts the world's smartest people to his home." Last September, with Siegal's help, Epstein hosted a │
│ Break Fast after Yom Kippur. A group of 120 friends brought their children over for a buffet dinner. One │
│ attendee, Jonathan Farkas, a New York real-estate heir, has known Epstein for 35 years and visited him while │
│ he was in prison. "The side I've been reading about is a side I don't know," he says. Farkas considers Epstein │
│ one of the smartest people he knows and often asks him for investment advice. "Unless I've seen it, I don't focus │
│ on it," he says. │
│ "From a cerebral and business side he's worshipped," says socialite Debbie Bancroft. "He's incredibly │
│ charming and handsome. He's an extraordinary package so I can see why people don't want to believe what │
│ they hear. If people come out of jail and are still successful, people are very forgiving, shockingly so." │
│ Renowned scientists whose research Epstein has generously funded through the years also stand by him. │
│ Professor Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and author of Quantum Man, has planned scientific │
│ conferences with Epstein in St. Thomas and remained close with him throughout his incarceration. "If │
│ anything, the unfortunate period he suffered has caused him to really think about what he wants to do with his │
│ money and his time, and support knowledge," says Krauss. "Jeffrey has surrounded himself with beautiful │
│ women and young women but they're not as young as the ones that were claimed. As a scientist I always judge │
│ things on empirical evidence and he always has women ages 19 to 23 around him, but I've never seen anything │
│ else, so as a scientist, my presumption is that whatever the problems were I would believe him over other │
│ people." Though colleagues have criticized him over his relationship with Epstein, Krauss insists, "I don't feel │
│ tarnished in any way by my relationship with Jeffrey; I feel raised by it." │
│ Alexandra Wolfe is a former contributing editor to Conde Nast Portfolio. She has written for publications │

│ Eye on the Market, June 14, 2011 (attached PDF is easier to read) │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Market update: for better or worse, this is the kind of year we were expecting. We were surprised at the │
│ market’s unbridled optimism in April*, since the tug-of-war between private sector profits and public sector │
│ problems has a long way to go. We chose the charts on the front page of our 2011 Outlook carefully; they were │
│ designed to show that equity markets were priced inexpensively, but were likely to stay that way, given too much │
│ stimulus in the East, and ineffective stimulus in the West **. We expect a modest second half recovery, based │
│ primarily on US capital spending increases, easy credit conditions everywhere, and a pick-up in industrial │
│ production in Japan. But the world’s structural problems are weighing on the private sector, and our portfolios │
│ are positioned for a single-digit year in credit, equities and hedge funds. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ * The Osama Bin Laden episode marked the equity market peak. Some commentators saw this event as a basis for │
│ further optimism, but unsurprisingly, the positive glow lasted for only around 2.5 hours the subsequent Monday. │
│ According to the Congressional Research Service, over the last decade, the US has spent at least $1.1 trillion in │
│ war funding operations, surpassing the constant-dollar cost of the Korean and Vietnam Wars combined. This │
│ highlights the disproportionately large pain that small, non-sovereign entities can inflict in the modern era. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** So far, the large growth and employment multipliers from deficit spending estimated by Christina Romer (former │
│ Chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers) have not materialized. John Taylor and John Cogan from │
│ Stanford have been closer to the mark: an initial boost, but then a rapidly fading benefit │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Something different this week. I was on the road seeing clients last week, and was asked “what should be done │
│ about job growth”. We are investors and not politicians, so my ideas [a] are not relevant. However, it seems to │
│ me that anyone involved in the jobs debate should be required to read the article below, written after the prior │
│ deep US recession (1990-1991). It’s from George McGovern, one of the most liberal politicians [b] ever to hold │
│ office and run for President. His epiphanies after leaving office and running the Stratford Inn are worth │
│ considering as legislators contemplate additional job creation measures, and the broader regulatory environment │
│ in which the private sector operates. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ “A Politician's Dream Is a Businessman's Nightmare”, by George McGovern, June 1992 [c] │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late. (Justice Felix │
│ Frankfurter). It's been 11 years since I left the U.S. Senate, after serving 24 years in high public office. │
│ After leaving a career in politics, I devoted much of my time to public lectures that took me into every state in │
│ the union and much of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In 1988, I invested most of the earnings from this lecture circuit acquiring the leasehold on Connecticut's │
│ Stratford Inn. Hotels, inns and restaurants have always held a special fascination for me. The Stratford Inn │
│ promised the realization of a longtime dream to own a combination hotel, restaurant and public conference │
│ facility--complete with an experienced manager and staff. In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the │
│ hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just │
│ as I was acquiring the inn's 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had │
│ had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have │
│ made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Today we are much closer to a general acknowledgment that government must encourage business to expand and grow. │
│ Bill Clinton, Paul Tsongas, Bob Kerrey and others have, I believe, changed the debate of our party [d]. We │
│ intuitively know that to create job opportunities we need entrepreneurs who will risk their capital against an │
│ expected payoff. Too often, however, public policy does not consider whether we are choking off those │
│ opportunities. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ My own business perspective has been limited to that small hotel and restaurant in Stratford, Conn., with an │
│ especially difficult lease and a severe recession. But my business associates and I also lived with federal, │
│ state and local rules that were all passed with the objective of helping employees, protecting the environment, │
│ raising tax dollars for schools, protecting our customers from fire hazards, etc. While I never doubted the │
│ worthiness of any of these goals, the concept that most often eludes legislators is: `Can we make consumers pay │
│ the higher prices for the increased operating costs that accompany public regulation and government reporting │
│ requirements with reams of red tape.' It is a simple concern that is nonetheless often ignored by legislators │
│ [e]. For example, the papers today are filled with stories about businesses dropping health coverage for │
│ employees. We provided a substantial package for our staff at the Stratford Inn. However, were we operating │
│ today, those costs would exceed $150,000 a year for health care on top of salaries and other benefits. There │
│ would have been no reasonable way for us to absorb or pass on these costs. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Some of the escalation in the cost of health care is attributed to patients suing doctors. While one cannot │
│ assess the merit of all these claims, I've also witnessed firsthand the explosion in blame-shifting and │
│ scapegoating for every negative experience in life. Today, despite bankruptcy, we are still dealing with │
│ litigation from individuals who fell in or near our restaurant. Despite these injuries, not every misstep is the │
│ fault of someone else. Not every such incident should be viewed as a lawsuit instead of an unfortunate accident. │
│ And while the business owner may prevail in the end, the endless exposure to frivolous claims and high legal fees │
│ is frightening. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Our Connecticut hotel, along with many others, went bankrupt for a variety of reasons, the general economy in the │
│ Northeast being a significant cause. But that reason masks the variety of other challenges we faced that drive │
│ operating costs and financing charges beyond what a small business can handle. It is clear that some businesses │
│ have products that can be priced at almost any level. The price of raw materials (e.g., steel and glass) and │
│ life-saving drugs and medical care are not easily substituted by consumers. It is only competition or antitrust │
│ that tempers price increases. Consumers may delay purchases, but they have little choice when faced with higher │
│ prices. In services, however, consumers do have a choice when faced with higher prices. You may have to stay in │
│ a hotel while on vacation, but you can stay fewer days. You can eat in restaurants fewer times per month, or │
│ forgo a number of services from car washes to shoeshines. Every such decision eventually results in job losses │
│ for someone. And often these are the people without the skills to help themselves--the people I've spent a │
│ lifetime trying to help. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In short, “one-size-fits-all” rules for business ignore the reality of the market place. And setting thresholds │
│ for regulatory guidelines at artificial levels--e.g., 50 employees or more, $500,000 in sales--takes no account │
│ of other realities, such as profit margins, labor intensive vs. capital intensive businesses, and local market │
│ economics. The problem we face as legislators is: Where do we set the bar so that it is not too high to clear? │
│ I don't have the answer. I do know that we need to start raising these questions more often. │

│ So, there you have it, one of the more remarkable epiphanies in American politics: a paean to entrepreneurship │
│ and government restraint from one of its most progressive members. Public epiphanies like this are rare, but │
│ there have been others. Last year, Al Gore conceded that first-generation ethanol was “not good policy” given │
│ its low energy conversion ratios, and said he had supported ethanol out of “a certain fondness for the farmers in │
│ the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president" [f]. In 2008, former Fed Chair Greenspan conceded │
│ that his Ayn Rand philosophies regarding regulations and shareholder self-interest were flawed. Perhaps the most │
│ famous epiphany was from Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense and one of the principal architects of the Vietnam │
│ War. In 1995, he conceded that he was “wrong, terribly wrong” about the war. George McGovern was one of the │
│ war’s fiercest opponents, saying on the floor of the Senate, “I'm tired of old men dreaming up wars for young men │
│ to fight”. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ There may be no magic elixir of policies to speed the adjustment the US faces. Look at it this way: the US is │
│ trying the mega-stimulus route, while the UK has accelerated its fiscal austerity program. Yet both countries │
│ are struggling with below-trend growth and employment. Perhaps after a debt binge, there are no easy answers, │
│ other than time. What to do next? McGovern’s article suggests that an overly interventionist public sector may │
│ be the wrong answer, given the unintended consequences. │

│ Notes │
│ │
│ [a] I like the idea of extending the holding period for short term capital gains to 3-5 years, and cutting the │

│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [b] According to methodology described by Keith Poole of the University of San Diego in the American Journal of │

│ │
│ [e] Would McGovern’s focus on red tape make sense today? According to surveys conducted by the National │

│ Eye on the Market, June 14, 2011 (attached PDF is easier to read) │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Market update: for better or worse, this is the kind of year we were expecting. We were surprised at the │
│ market’s unbridled optimism in April*, since the tug-of-war between private sector profits and public sector │
│ problems has a long way to go. We chose the charts on the front page of our 2011 Outlook carefully; they were │
│ designed to show that equity markets were priced inexpensively, but were likely to stay that way, given too much │
│ stimulus in the East, and ineffective stimulus in the West **. We expect a modest second half recovery, based │
│ primarily on US capital spending increases, easy credit conditions everywhere, and a pick-up in industrial │
│ production in Japan. But the world’s structural problems are weighing on the private sector, and our portfolios │
│ are positioned for a single-digit year in credit, equities and hedge funds. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ * The Osama Bin Laden episode marked the equity market peak. Some commentators saw this event as a basis for │
│ further optimism, but unsurprisingly, the positive glow lasted for only around 2.5 hours the subsequent Monday. │
│ According to the Congressional Research Service, over the last decade, the US has spent at least $1.1 trillion in │
│ war funding operations, surpassing the constant-dollar cost of the Korean and Vietnam Wars combined. This │
│ highlights the disproportionately large pain that small, non-sovereign entities can inflict in the modern era. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** So far, the large growth and employment multipliers from deficit spending estimated by Christina Romer (former │
│ Chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers) have not materialized. John Taylor and John Cogan from │
│ Stanford have been closer to the mark: an initial boost, but then a rapidly fading benefit │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Something different this week. I was on the road seeing clients last week, and was asked “what should be done │
│ about job growth”. We are investors and not politicians, so my ideas [a] are not relevant. However, it seems to │
│ me that anyone involved in the jobs debate should be required to read the article below, written after the prior │
│ deep US recession (1990-1991). It’s from George McGovern, one of the most liberal politicians [b] ever to hold │
│ office and run for President. His epiphanies after leaving office and running the Stratford Inn are worth │
│ considering as legislators contemplate additional job creation measures, and the broader regulatory environment │
│ in which the private sector operates. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ “A Politician's Dream Is a Businessman's Nightmare”, by George McGovern, June 1992 [c] │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late. (Justice Felix │
│ Frankfurter). It's been 11 years since I left the U.S. Senate, after serving 24 years in high public office. │
│ After leaving a career in politics, I devoted much of my time to public lectures that took me into every state in │
│ the union and much of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In 1988, I invested most of the earnings from this lecture circuit acquiring the leasehold on Connecticut's │
│ Stratford Inn. Hotels, inns and restaurants have always held a special fascination for me. The Stratford Inn │
│ promised the realization of a longtime dream to own a combination hotel, restaurant and public conference │
│ facility--complete with an experienced manager and staff. In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the │
│ hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just │
│ as I was acquiring the inn's 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had │
│ had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have │
│ made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Today we are much closer to a general acknowledgment that government must encourage business to expand and grow. │
│ Bill Clinton, Paul Tsongas, Bob Kerrey and others have, I believe, changed the debate of our party [d]. We │

│ Russia Says IMF Chief Jailed For Discovering All US Gold is │
│ Gone │
│ A new report prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Federal Security Service (FSB) says that former │
│ International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was charged and jailed in the US for sex │
│ crimes on May 14th after his discovery that all of the gold held in the United States Bullion Depository located │
│ at Fort Knox was 'missing and / or unaccounted' for. │
│ According to this FSB secret report, Strauss-Kahn had become "increasingly concerned" earlier this month │
│ after the United States began "stalling" its pledged delivery to the IMF of 191.3 tons of gold agreed to under │
│ the Second Amendment of the Articles of Agreement signed by the Executive Board in April 1978 that were to │
│ be sold to fund what are called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as an alternative to what are called reserve │
│ currencies. │
│ This FSB report further states that upon Strauss-Kahn raising his concerns with American government officials │
│ close to President Obama he was 'contacted' by 'rogue elements' within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) │
│ who providedhim 'firm evidence' that all of the gold reported to be held by the US 'was gone'. │
│ Upon Strauss-Kahn receiving the CIA evidence, this report continues, he made immediate arrangements to │
│ leave the US for Paris, but when contacted by agents working for France's General Directorate for External │
│ Security (DGSE) that American authorities were seeking his capture he fled to New York City's JFK airport │
│ following these agents directive not to take his cell-phone because US police could track his exact location. │
│ Once Strauss-Kahn was safely boarded on an Air France flight to Paris, however, this FSB report says he made │
│ a 'fatal mistake' by calling the hotel from a phone on the plane and asking them to forwarded the cell-phone │
│ he had been told to leave behind to his French residence, after which US agents were able to track and │
│ apprehend him. │
│ Within the past fortnight, this report continues, Strauss-Kahn reached out to his close friend and top Egyptian │
│ banker Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar to retrieve from the US the evidence given to him by the CIA. Omar, │
│ however, and exactly like Strauss-Kahn before him, was charged yesterday by the US with a sex crime against │
│ a luxury hotel maid, a charge the FSB labels as 'beyond belief' due to Omar being 74-years-old and a devout │
│ Muslim. │
│ II │
│ In an astounding move puzzling many in Moscow, Putin after reading this secret FSB report today ordered │
│ posted to the Kremlin's official website a defense of Strauss-Khan becoming the first world leader to state that │
│ the former IMF chief was a victim of a US conspiracy. Putin further stated, "It's hard for me to evaluate the │
│ hidden political motives but I cannot believe that it looks the way it was initially introduced. It doesn't sit │
│ right │
│ in my head. │
│ Interesting to note about all of these events is that one of the United States top Congressman, and 2012 │
│ Presidential candidate, Ron Paul has long stated his belief that the US government has lied about its gold │
│ reserves held at Fort Knox. So concerned had Congressman Paul become about the US government and the │
│ Federal Reserve hiding the truth about American gold reserves he put forward a bill in late 2010 to force an │
│ audit of them, but which was subsequently defeated by Obama regime forces. │
│ When directly asked by reporters if he believed there was no gold in Fort Knox or the Federal Reserve, │
│ Congressman Paul gave the incredible reply, "I think it is a possibility." │
│ Also interesting to note is that barely 3 days after the arrest of Strauss-Kahn, Congressman Paul made a new │
│ call for the US to sell its gold reserves by stating, "Given the high price it is now, and the tremendous debt │
│ problem we now have, by all means, sell at the peak." │
│ Bizarre reports emanating from the US for years, however, suggest there is no gold to sell, and as we can read │
│ as posted in 2009 on the ViewZone.Com news site: │
│ "In October of 2009 the Chinese received a shipment of gold bars. Gold is regularly exchanged between │
│ countries to pay debts and to settle the so-called balance of trade. │
│ Most gold is exchanged and stored in vaults under the supervision of a special organization based in London, │
│ the London Bullion Market Association (or LBMA). When the shipment was received, the Chinese government │
│ asked that special tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars. In this test, four │

│ DOMINQUE STRAUSS-KAHN ARRESTED, NOT BECAUSE HE RAPED A MAID, BUT │
│ BECAUSE HE HAD EVIDENCE US HAS NO GOLD IN FORT KNOX. │
│ Posted by admin on Jun 3, 2011 in News I 0 comments │
│ V.4110". │
│ A startling story published by the European Union Times, could be the one of the worlds biggest conspiracy │
│ theories, a plot for a movie or a │
│ frightening scenario for the U.S. and world economy. │
│ Dominique Strauss Kahn │
│ According to the on-line publication a new report prepared for Russian Prime Minister Putin by the │
│ FederalSecurity Service(FSB) says that │
│ former International Monetary Fund (IMF) ChiefDominique Strauss-Kahnwas charged and jailed in the US forsex │
│ crimeson May 14 after his │
│ discovery that all of thegoldheld in theUnited States Bullion Depositorylocated at Fort Knox was missing and/or │
│ unaccounted for. │
│ According to this FSBsecretreport, Strauss-Kahn had become increasingly concerned earlier this month after the │
│ United States began stalling │
│ its pledged delivery to the IMF of191.3 tons of goldagreed to under theSecond Amendmentof the Articles of │
│ Agreement signed by the │
│ Executive Board in April 1978 that were to be sold to fund what are called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as an │
│ alternative to what are called │
│ reserve currencies. │
│ This FSB report says that when Strauss-Kahn raised his concerns with Americangovernment officials close to │
│ President Obama he was │
│ contacted by rogue elements within the CIA who provided him firm evidence that all of thegoldreported to be held │
│ by the US was gone. │
│ Upon Strauss-Kahn receiving the CIA evidence, the report said, he made immediate arrangements to leave the US for │
│ Paris, but when │
│ contacted by agents working for Frances General Directorate for External Security (DGSE) that American │
│ authorities were seeking his │
│ capture he fled to New York CitysJFK airportfollowing these agents directive not to take his cell-phone because │
│ US police could track his │
│ exact location. │
│ Once Strauss-Kahn safely boarded anAir France flightto Paris, the FSB report says, he made a fatal mistake by │
│ calling the hotel from a phone │
│ on the plane and asking them to forwarded the cell-phone he had been told to leave behind to his French │
│ residence, after which US agents │
│ were able to track and apprehend him. │
│ Within the past fortnight, the report continues, Strauss-Kahn reached out to his close friend and top Egyptian │
│ banker Mahmoud Abdel Salam │
│ Omar to retrieve from the US the evidence given to him by the CIA. Omar, however, and exactly like Strauss-Kahn │
│ before him, has been │
│ chargedby the US with a sex crime against aluxury hotelmaid, a charge the FSB labels as beyond belief as Omar is │
│ 74-years-old and a devout │
│ Muslim. │
│ In an astounding move puzzling many in Moscow, Putin after reading thissecretFSB report ordered posted to the │
│ Kremlins official website a │
│ defense of Strauss-Khan becoming thefirst world leader to state that the former IMF chief was a victim of a US │
│ conspiracy. │
│ One of the United States top Congressman, and 2012 Presidential candidate, Ron Paul has long stated his belief │
│ that the US government has │
│ lied about itsgoldreserves held at Fort Knox. And in 2010 put forward a bill force an audit of them, .The bill │
│ was defeated,but which was │
│ subsequently defeated by Obama regime forces. │
│ When directly asked by reporters if he believed there was nogoldin Fort Knox or the Federal Reserve, Congressman │
│ Paul gave the incredible │
│ reply, I think it is a possibility. │
│ Also interesting to note is that barely 3 days after the arrest of Strauss-Kahn, Congressman Paul made a new call │
│ for the US to sell │
│ itsgoldreserves by stating, Given the high price it is now, and the tremendous debt problem we now have, by all │
│ means, sell at the peak. │
│ Reports emanating from the US for years, however, suggest there is nogoldto sell. │
│ New reports coming from the United States show his determination not to go down without a fight as he has hired │
│ what is described as a │
│ crack team of former CIA spies, private investigators and media advisers to defend him. │
│ Ob Monday Russias Central Bank yesterdayordered the interest rateraised from 0.25 to 3.5 percent and Putin │
│ ordered the export ban on │
│ wheat and grain cropslifted by July lin a move designed to fill Russias coffers with money that normally would │
│ have flowed to the US. │

│ Eye on the Market, July 25, 2011 (the attached PDF document is much easier to read) │
│ │
│ Topics: US debt ceiling negotiations, a more ambitious European bailout plan (finally), and how large cap growth │
│ stocks and rising corporate profits are patiently waiting for both of them to end │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ White Castle. Twenty five years ago, I had a friend with a peculiar way of responding to seeing things he │
│ didn’t like on TV: he would throw White Castle hamburgers at the screen. I always thought this was a bad way to │
│ waste a good hamburger, but I had one of those moments the other night when watching news reports on debt ceiling │
│ discussions. Media outlets have referred to President Reagan’s scolding of Congressional Republicans for │
│ delaying debt ceiling increases, and the 18 increases that took place during his Presidency. The implication: │
│ reservations about raising the debt ceiling are as irresponsible now as they were then. This is a disingenuous │
│ argument; in the 1980’s, the debt ceiling being debated was 50% of GDP, and had no bearing on the solvency of the │
│ United States. Today, the proposed increase raises the debt limit twice as high, measured relative to GDP or │
│ government revenues. While a default is a very bad idea (deserving of a White Castle hurling of its own), │
│ unconstrained debt growth with no plan to slow it is bad as well. Some suggest we not worry about debt growth, │
│ since demand from foreign central banks and the Federal Reserve would keep yields in check. That logic is │
│ irresponsible at best. Debt limit legislation is a rocky but healthy way for a democracy to decide whether │
│ mega-deficits are in the long-term public interest. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Over the last few days, the Gang of Six plan, the Reid-McConnell plan and the Obama-Boehner plan have all been │
│ raised up the flagpole and then lowered. By the end of the process, we’re still looking for deficit reduction of │
│ $3 trillion+ over 10 years (relative to the CBO Alternative case in which there is no deficit reduction at all). │
│ However, Congress is running short on time, and may have to do a smaller debt ceiling increase/deficit reduction │
│ first. For now, we wait to see the balance of spending cuts and revenue increases will be agreed to. Last │
│ week’s Profiles in Courage piece walked through the history and dynamics of this process, so we won’t repeat that │
│ here. Here’s our take on what has been proposed so far, with the caveat that many plans are not crystal clear │
│ what baseline they are using, or what steps they recommend to get to that baseline first. For example: the Gang │
│ of Six state that they used the President’s budget as a baseline (scored by CBO in March 2011), reduced deficits │
│ by $3.7 trillion, and ended up with a 71% debt/GDP ratio; but they do not explain how they get to the President’s │
│ baseline in the first place. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ I have a feeling that revenue increases will be a material (e.g., 25% or more) part of the deal. The Peterson │
│ Foundation’s sampling of 6 policy groups shown below indicate that 5 of 6 recommend revenue increases compared to │
│ where we are today; the Heritage Foundation’s “Woody Guthrie Memorial Budget Plan” is the only exception. What │
│ kind of revenue increases? Raising the top two brackets, which would affect joint filers with adjusted gross │
│ incomes above $212,300, would raise $450-$700 billion over 10 years (depending on whether you use OMB or CBO │
│ numbers). If they cannot agree to raise rates, another option (as in the Gang of Six plan) would be reductions │
│ in the deductibility of state and local taxes, sales taxes, mortgage interest, etc. As this gets sorted out, │
│ let’s hope everyone recognizes that the US tax system is already progressive. As shown in the chart below, │
│ effective Federal tax rates for low earners have dropped to zero over the last decade, even after including FICA │
│ taxes. News reports that the US tax system is regressive make me want to throw hamburgers at the screen. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Europe: Finally (!!), but now what? │
│ │
│ For the first time since 2009, it felt last week like European policymakers were trying to get out in front of │
│ things. In exchange for a modest amount of “private sector involvement”, Germany agreed to more generous │
│ financing terms for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, and an expanded role for the EU-IMF lending facility (see │
│ following page). What would the plan accomplish if implemented? While Greek debt to GDP ratios would remain │
│ well over 125% of GDP (the IMF estimate for next year is a ridiculous 170%), Greece’s near-term financing │
│ obligations would decline, due to debt buybacks, exchanges into long maturity bonds, and interest grace periods │
│ on new EU loans. More broadly, the plan also allows for money to be lent to countries before they enter into an │
│ IMF program, for recapitalization of banks. All things considered, it’s the broadest defense of the Monetary │
│ Union so far. On paper, it even looks like a free ride for holders of Greek paper that don’t participate in the │
│ debt exchanges (they would be paid at par). So, what’s not to like? Well, there are still questions about │
│ Greece: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** There’s a big difference between generous financing terms and generous economic terms. Greece must still meet │
│ an enormous 5%-6% primary budget surplus target (government revenues less spending, pre-interest) during a │
│ recession │
│ │
│ ** Greece must execute on its asset sale targets, despite having little success or experience doing this in the │
│ past │
│ │
│ ** Banks listed in the IIF document (the committee representing them) are under no binding legal obligation to │
│ participate in the debt exchanges, and may turn out to own less Greek debt than currently believed. [Note: bank │
│ participation in the Latin Brady bond era was high, since at the time, banks held almost all the paper, and in │
│ the form of illiquid loans]. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The big question: would Germany still live up to the deal if Greece missed deficit targets or assets sales, if │
│ bank participation was too low, or if hedge funds (once referred to by the Chairman of the German Social │
│ Democratic Party as a “swarm of locusts”) reaped large free rider windfalls? Ultimately, this is a political │
│ question. If “yes”, Germany will underwrite Greece no matter what; if “no”, then a broader, coercive Greek │
│ restructuring might follow in the not-so-distant future. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In addition to execution risk in Greece, we are left with 3 other concerns. The current EU-IMF lending facility │
│ capacity is Eur 255 bn, but we anticipate that as agreed, national parliaments will expand it to 440 bn. First │
│ concern: while that’s to deal with problems in Greece, Portugal and Ireland, if you include Spain, it gets tight │
│ (note: the chart excludes costs to recapitalize banks). If Italy or Belgium entered Europe’s Liquidity Hospital, │
│ a lot more money might be needed from European parliaments (in one worst-case scenario, Alliance Bernstein │
│ estimates that the EU lending facility would have to increase from 440 bn to 1.7 trillion Euros, mostly from │
│ Germany). Italy faces a multi-notch downgrade from Moody’s, which is not going to help. As we discussed two │
│ weeks ago, Italy has been a model citizen in terms of running low budget deficits for 20 years, but still cannot │
│ escape the confines of its very large existing debt stock (120% of GDP). │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Second, as shown below, Europe is now a two-speed economy, with the periphery stuck in neutral (industrial │
│ production is one proxy for this; there are others, such as unemployment, consumption, export shares, etc). If │
│ the idea behind the EU/IMF effort is that austerity will boost growth and lead these countries back to the public │
│ markets, there is very little momentum in this direction. If the status quo in the periphery does not change, │
│ all the EU package does is allow the current approach more time to fail. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The third concern: Germany as paymaster. We are often told that Germans across both major parties are │
│ unflinching supporters of the European project, and will do whatever it takes to prevent a break-up. The │
│ objections from members of the Bundesbank are described as lonely voices of opposition that carry no weight [a]. │
│ But how large are the costs going to be? German politicians and voters may see current circumstances as │
│ exceptional, and that if they just agree to one more package, the problem will go away. However, we are │
│ starting to see analyses of how costly a permanent transfer union may be for Germany. Bernard Connolly at │
│ Hamiltonian Advisors sent me a recent paper from the Centrum fur Europaische Politik in Freiburg, which provides │
│ some clues. They see three alternatives for the deficit countries: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** massive reduction in regulations and unit labor costs to regain competitiveness │
│ │
│ ** exit from the EMU, re-introduction of national currencies │
│ │
│ ** permanent transfer union from surplus countries to deficit ones │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ On the last option, they estimate a “creditworthiness gap” in European deficit countries of Eur 108 billion in │
│ 2010. The gap measures how much European deficit countries rely on capital inflows to fund consumption, rather │
│ than investment (which contributes to future GDP). Germany’s share of the European surplus is around ¾, so │
│ let’s assume a pro-rata burden on Germany to maintain the transfer union. As a result, the theoretical economic │
│ cost could be 3.3% of German GDP every year, which as shown, gets close to some expensive episodes in German │
│ history. If German citizens were faced with costs this high, it could be a White Castle hamburger-throwing │
│ moment of national proportions. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Bottom line. At a time when European equities are trading close to 2009 lows relative to earnings and book │
│ value, this package could result in a relief rally for European equities, particularly banks. The chance of a │
│ disorderly default in 2011 has decreased markedly, and a process has been put in place to create more seamless │
│ transfers to areas (and banks) in need. But the size of the transfer union fund is not big enough to allay all │
│ concerns, particularly with Spain and Italy growing at anemic levels, and there is execution risk in Greece. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Recent bank stress tests conducted by the EU concluded that only Eur 2.5 billion of capital needs to be raised │
│ (70 to 80 billion sounds more reasonable to us). And in the package announced last week, the following Orwellian │
│ clause indicates how European policymakers feel about rating agencies these days: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Point 15. We agree that reliance on external credit ratings in the EU regulatory framework should be reduced, │
│ taking into account the Commission's recent proposals in that direction, and we look forward to the Commission │
│ proposals on credit ratings agencies │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In Europe, denial appears to be an essential ingredient to the process (See “Five Stages of Greece”, June 30, │
│ 2011). Last week’s package is a bold step towards Federalization and the worst-case outcomes have been avoided │
│ (money market failures, bank runs, etc), but markets will remain nervous about Europe. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ While we’re waiting: large cap growth stocks │
│ │
│ One day, the melodramas around US and European sovereign debt will end. While we’re waiting, one of the asset │
│ classes that looks attractive is large cap growth stocks. As shown below (for a universe of 300 U.S. large cap │
│ growth stocks that meet certain earnings quality and stability factors), free cash flow relative to both revenues │
│ and stock prices looks good compared to the last four decades. This is where we believe investors should be │
│ adding exposure if they are underweight versus their desired equity allocations. This is also an asset class │
│ where active management can still provide a lot of value; the dispersion of large cap growth managers is higher │
│ than large cap core, large cap value and international equity manager dispersion. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Q2 earnings season in the US is off to a good start. Nearly 30% of the S&P has reported, and results have │
│ generally been positive. Earnings are beating consensus estimates by almost 4% (7.4% ex-financials), all ten │
│ sectors are beating on revenue targets, and only 7% of companies are reporting below-consensus earnings. Given │
│ earnings expectations for 2011 at $98.50, the S&P 500 is trading at a reasonable 13.5x forward multiple. │
│ However, y/y earnings growth expectations appear to be flattening out for both 2011 and 2012 at around 11%-12%. │
│ While Q2 earnings are doing well so far, some company guidance for the remainder of the year has been below │
│ consensus, which would be consistent with the recent batch of reports indicating a slowdown in manufacturing and │
│ service sector surveys. │

│ let’s hope everyone recognizes that the US tax system is already progressive. As shown in the chart below, │
│ effective Federal tax rates for low earners have dropped to zero over the last decade, even after including FICA │
│ taxes. News reports that the US tax system is regressive make me want to throw hamburgers at the screen. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Europe: Finally (!!), but now what? │
│ │
│ For the first time since 2009, it felt last week like European policymakers were trying to get out in front of │
│ things. In exchange for a modest amount of “private sector involvement”, Germany agreed to more generous │
│ financing terms for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, and an expanded role for the EU-IMF lending facility (see │
│ following page). What would the plan accomplish if implemented? While Greek debt to GDP ratios would remain │
│ well over 125% of GDP (the IMF estimate for next year is a ridiculous 170%), Greece’s near-term financing │
│ obligations would decline, due to debt buybacks, exchanges into long maturity bonds, and interest grace periods │
│ on new EU loans. More broadly, the plan also allows for money to be lent to countries before they enter into an │
│ IMF program, for recapitalization of banks. All things considered, it’s the broadest defense of the Monetary │
│ Union so far. On paper, it even looks like a free ride for holders of Greek paper that don’t participate in the │
│ debt exchanges (they would be paid at par). So, what’s not to like? Well, there are still questions about │
│ Greece: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** There’s a big difference between generous financing terms and generous economic terms. Greece must still meet │
│ an enormous 5%-6% primary budget surplus target (government revenues less spending, pre-interest) during a │
│ recession │
│ │
│ ** Greece must execute on its asset sale targets, despite having little success or experience doing this in the │
│ past │
│ │
│ ** Banks listed in the IIF document (the committee representing them) are under no binding legal obligation to │
│ participate in the debt exchanges, and may turn out to own less Greek debt than currently believed. [Note: bank │
│ participation in the Latin Brady bond era was high, since at the time, banks held almost all the paper, and in │
│ the form of illiquid loans]. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The big question: would Germany still live up to the deal if Greece missed deficit targets or assets sales, if │
│ bank participation was too low, or if hedge funds (once referred to by the Chairman of the German Social │
│ Democratic Party as a “swarm of locusts”) reaped large free rider windfalls? Ultimately, this is a political │
│ question. If “yes”, Germany will underwrite Greece no matter what; if “no”, then a broader, coercive Greek │
│ restructuring might follow in the not-so-distant future. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In addition to execution risk in Greece, we are left with 3 other concerns. The current EU-IMF lending facility │
│ capacity is Eur 255 bn, but we anticipate that as agreed, national parliaments will expand it to 440 bn. First │
│ concern: while that’s to deal with problems in Greece, Portugal and Ireland, if you include Spain, it gets tight │
│ (note: the chart excludes costs to recapitalize banks). If Italy or Belgium entered Europe’s Liquidity Hospital, │
│ a lot more money might be needed from European parliaments (in one worst-case scenario, Alliance Bernstein │
│ estimates that the EU lending facility would have to increase from 440 bn to 1.7 trillion Euros, mostly from │
│ Germany). Italy faces a multi-notch downgrade from Moody’s, which is not going to help. As we discussed two │
│ weeks ago, Italy has been a model citizen in terms of running low budget deficits for 20 years, but still cannot │
│ escape the confines of its very large existing debt stock (120% of GDP). │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Second, as shown below, Europe is now a two-speed economy, with the periphery stuck in neutral (industrial │
│ production is one proxy for this; there are others, such as unemployment, consumption, export shares, etc). If │
│ the idea behind the EU/IMF effort is that austerity will boost growth and lead these countries back to the public │
│ markets, there is very little momentum in this direction. If the status quo in the periphery does not change, │
│ all the EU package does is allow the current approach more time to fail. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The third concern: Germany as paymaster. We are often told that Germans across both major parties are │
│ unflinching supporters of the European project, and will do whatever it takes to prevent a break-up. The │
│ objections from members of the Bundesbank are described as lonely voices of opposition that carry no weight [a]. │
│ But how large are the costs going to be? German politicians and voters may see current circumstances as │
│ exceptional, and that if they just agree to one more package, the problem will go away. However, we are │
│ starting to see analyses of how costly a permanent transfer union may be for Germany. Bernard Connolly at │
│ Hamiltonian Advisors sent me a recent paper from the Centrum fur Europaische Politik in Freiburg, which provides │
│ some clues. They see three alternatives for the deficit countries: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** massive reduction in regulations and unit labor costs to regain competitiveness │
│ │
│ ** exit from the EMU, re-introduction of national currencies │
│ │
│ ** permanent transfer union from surplus countries to deficit ones │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ On the last option, they estimate a “creditworthiness gap” in European deficit countries of Eur 108 billion in │
│ 2010. The gap measures how much European deficit countries rely on capital inflows to fund consumption, rather │
│ than investment (which contributes to future GDP). Germany’s share of the European surplus is around ¾, so │
│ let’s assume a pro-rata burden on Germany to maintain the transfer union. As a result, the theoretical economic │
│ cost could be 3.3% of German GDP every year, which as shown, gets close to some expensive episodes in German │
│ history. If German citizens were faced with costs this high, it could be a White Castle hamburger-throwing │
│ moment of national proportions. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Bottom line. At a time when European equities are trading close to 2009 lows relative to earnings and book │
│ value, this package could result in a relief rally for European equities, particularly banks. The chance of a │
│ disorderly default in 2011 has decreased markedly, and a process has been put in place to create more seamless │
│ transfers to areas (and banks) in need. But the size of the transfer union fund is not big enough to allay all │
│ concerns, particularly with Spain and Italy growing at anemic levels, and there is execution risk in Greece. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Recent bank stress tests conducted by the EU concluded that only Eur 2.5 billion of capital needs to be raised │
│ (70 to 80 billion sounds more reasonable to us). And in the package announced last week, the following Orwellian │
│ clause indicates how European policymakers feel about rating agencies these days: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Point 15. We agree that reliance on external credit ratings in the EU regulatory framework should be reduced, │
│ taking into account the Commission's recent proposals in that direction, and we look forward to the Commission │
│ proposals on credit ratings agencies │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ In Europe, denial appears to be an essential ingredient to the process (See “Five Stages of Greece”, June 30, │
│ 2011). Last week’s package is a bold step towards Federalization and the worst-case outcomes have been avoided │
│ (money market failures, bank runs, etc), but markets will remain nervous about Europe. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ While we’re waiting: large cap growth stocks │
│ │
│ One day, the melodramas around US and European sovereign debt will end. While we’re waiting, one of the asset │
│ classes that looks attractive is large cap growth stocks. As shown below (for a universe of 300 U.S. large cap │
│ growth stocks that meet certain earnings quality and stability factors), free cash flow relative to both revenues │
│ and stock prices looks good compared to the last four decades. This is where we believe investors should be │
│ adding exposure if they are underweight versus their desired equity allocations. This is also an asset class │
│ where active management can still provide a lot of value; the dispersion of large cap growth managers is higher │
│ than large cap core, large cap value and international equity manager dispersion. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Q2 earnings season in the US is off to a good start. Nearly 30% of the S&P has reported, and results have │
│ generally been positive. Earnings are beating consensus estimates by almost 4% (7.4% ex-financials), all ten │
│ sectors are beating on revenue targets, and only 7% of companies are reporting below-consensus earnings. Given │
│ earnings expectations for 2011 at $98.50, the S&P 500 is trading at a reasonable 13.5x forward multiple. │
│ However, y/y earnings growth expectations appear to be flattening out for both 2011 and 2012 at around 11%-12%. │
│ While Q2 earnings are doing well so far, some company guidance for the remainder of the year has been below │
│ consensus, which would be consistent with the recent batch of reports indicating a slowdown in manufacturing and │
│ service sector surveys. │

│ │
│ This is a little unorthodox, but here is the text of an internal note that I just sent to our integrated Private │
│ Bank client coverage teams a few moments ago. Mary thought it would be a good idea to share this with our │
│ clients given the events of the day. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ “Here is what I plan to say at our Aspen Insights conference tomorrow about today’s events. The last two weeks │
│ have been a severe setback for financial markets and the global recovery. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [1] Today, Italian equity markets sold off sharply and were eventually shut down after the ECB (for now) rejected │
│ being the buyer of last resort for Italian government bonds, as the markets were hoping. The Bundesbank │
│ apparently has objections to the idea. This is a problem: Italy has issued around as much public debt as │
│ Germany, but is a considerably smaller country with almost twice the debt load as a percentage of its GDP. │
│ Absent a decision by Germany to move to Federalism or a lot more debt monetization by the ECB, the European │
│ Monetary Union (as it is currently configured) could be facing its final stretch. Today’s reported move by │
│ Italian regulators to seize documents at Moody’s regarding declines in Italian bank stocks is an indication of │
│ the pressure the system is under, and the possible search for scapegoats. I don’t think you will find a firm │
│ that has written more often and more direly about the structural inconsistencies of the EMU than we have (I have │
│ a 2-year bibliography of what we said and when, if anyone wants it). The “Sick Men of Europe” paper from │
│ February 2010 and “Don Quixote Thanksgiving” from November 2010 go into the greatest detail on why. Our concerns │
│ sky-rocketed upon Greece’s financial disclosures in November 2009, after which we took portfolio decisions to │
│ back that up, purging exposures to the GIPSI countries from our credit, government bond and equity portfolios. │
│ Since early 2010, our underweight positions in Europe represent the largest regional underweights we have ever │
│ held. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [2] Will there be another recession in the US? Our friend Marty Feldstein at Harvard puts the odds at 50-50. │
│ Sell side and buy side economists missed last month’s US economic rollover by a country mile, so I am not sure │
│ how much weight to put in their current forecasts. Most summarily dismissed our concerns that the recovery │
│ earlier this year had elements of a stimulus-driven mirage. Bridgewater Associates was the only firm we spoke to │
│ that consistently highlighted the broader process of household deleveraging; and cautioned that when stimulus │
│ faded, so would the US economy, given the weakness in household income. Their insights have been invaluable to │
│ us in terms of not stepping into this and taking too much risk prematurely during the three market swoons this │
│ year. Our central scenario for the US in 2012 is not another recession, but low growth in the 2.0% range, │
│ which is enough of a problem given the low job creation that entails. Note that the CBO assumes growth rates of │
│ 3.0% to 3.6% over the next few years in their analyses of future US federal debt levels. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [3] Do not blame today’s events on the debt ceiling debate, US politicians or European regulators. If we get to │
│ the point where economic and profit fundamentals in a given market or region are not sustainable on their own, │
│ then we should be underweight that region (as in Europe). Owning an asset class under the assumption that there │
│ will always be a “Lord of the Flies” type rescue from Central Banks and Treasuries is very risky, and │
│ historically, fraught with failure. I remember similar logic in the summer of 1998, when the accepted mantra was │
│ that the US would bail out Russia and Boris Yeltsin, since President Clinton would not want to see a nuclear │
│ power like Russia slide back into Soviet rule, or anarchy (that view turned out to be wrong). Anyone │
│ market-weight European risk out of the expectation that “Trichet and Merkel will fix surely it” is taking a │
│ binary risk that impossible to handicap. Similarly, we should not start buying anything just because we think │
│ Qe3 is coming in the US (in the form of securities purchases, a permanently controlled long bond, etc). │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [4] When we began this year, I made the following decision: we would risk underperforming if there was a strong │
│ equity rally, out of concerns about the macroeconomic landscape (weakness in the West, inflation in the East). │
│ As a result, we have held less equity exposure than usual for a period of high margins, low P/E multiples and │
│ strong earnings. Instead, we’ve held larger exposures to investment grade and high yield credit, and hedge │
│ funds. Over the last couple of years, our hedge funds (long-short funds with low net positions, macro hedge │
│ funds, distressed credit) have helped cushion portfolio returns when markets declined. We won’t know until the │
│ data comes in, but we expect the same to happen this time. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [5] The “Eye on the Market” has endlessly chronicled this year the fissures which are now affecting financial │
│ markets: European sovereign risk and inadequate bank capitalization; weak labor compensation as an Achilles heel │
│ of the US profits recovery, given its negative impact on spending; the political divide in Congress over how to │
│ deal with falling government revenue and rising entitlement spending; inflation risks in Asia and Latin America │
│ and the resulting need for more policy tightening; and the mixed track record of low interest rates to │
│ sustainability solve structural problems. The cover of the 2011 Outlook (a printing press, out of control) │
│ expressed our concern regarding a recovery built upon a stimulus machine. I would contrast this with the cover │
│ of a competitor’s 2011 publication, which had a picture of George Washington crossing the Delaware, with the │
│ caption “America’s structural resilience, fortitude and ingenuity will carry the economy and financial markets in │
│ 2011 – and beyond”. Our job is not to point to where we would like the financial markets to go, but rather to │
│ point to where they might end up. It’s like the scene in Oliver Stone’s Nixon, when Nixon looks up at a portrait │
│ of JFK and says, “When they look at you, they see what they want to be. When they look at me, they see what they │
│ are.” Our job is to see financial markets for what they are. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [6] All that said, we have lessons to learn here. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Too many of our investment discussions this year focused on the negative real return characteristics of cash, and │
│ why to reduce it. In a world of deflation risk on financial assets (rather than of goods and services), cash │
│ retains substantial option value at times like these. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ We could have connected the dots more aggressively on our views on weak growth and easy monetary policy, and │
│ owned more gold. While we have had rising price forecasts for gold and owned it in portfolios, we did not have │
│ large enough allocations. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Given the all-time high of US government transfers to households and negative real interest rates, we should not │
│ have interpreted positive economic data earlier this year as being highly representative of the true run-rate of │
│ the US economy. The same goes for the global economy, which has been the beneficiary of a lot of stimulus that │
│ is now fading, for a variety of economic and political reasons. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Great corporate profits are no guarantee against a problem in financial markets. Corporate profits and P/E │
│ multiples were fine in June 2007, but rested on top of a systemic problem in private sector credit markets and │
│ private sector balance sheets. This year, strong corporate profits and low P/E multiples sit on top of systemic │
│ problems in public sector finances. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [7] In the wreckage, as usual, there are opportunities, and we will be reviewing them with you in the days ahead. │
│ There is a benefit to having held back on our firepower this year. With risk to spend held in reserve, there are │
│ oversold assets with considering, particularly among multinationals with strong balance sheets, high dividends │
│ and which trade at very low multiples, something we reviewed earlier in the week.” │

│ faded, so would the US economy, given the weakness in household income. Their insights have been invaluable to │
│ us in terms of not stepping into this and taking too much risk prematurely during the three market swoons this │
│ year. Our central scenario for the US in 2012 is not another recession, but low growth in the 2.0% range, │
│ which is enough of a problem given the low job creation that entails. Note that the CBO assumes growth rates of │
│ 3.0% to 3.6% over the next few years in their analyses of future US federal debt levels. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [3] Do not blame today’s events on the debt ceiling debate, US politicians or European regulators. If we get to │
│ the point where economic and profit fundamentals in a given market or region are not sustainable on their own, │
│ then we should be underweight that region (as in Europe). Owning an asset class under the assumption that there │
│ will always be a “Lord of the Flies” type rescue from Central Banks and Treasuries is very risky, and │
│ historically, fraught with failure. I remember similar logic in the summer of 1998, when the accepted mantra was │
│ that the US would bail out Russia and Boris Yeltsin, since President Clinton would not want to see a nuclear │
│ power like Russia slide back into Soviet rule, or anarchy (that view turned out to be wrong). Anyone │
│ market-weight European risk out of the expectation that “Trichet and Merkel will fix surely it” is taking a │
│ binary risk that impossible to handicap. Similarly, we should not start buying anything just because we think │
│ Qe3 is coming in the US (in the form of securities purchases, a permanently controlled long bond, etc). │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [4] When we began this year, I made the following decision: we would risk underperforming if there was a strong │
│ equity rally, out of concerns about the macroeconomic landscape (weakness in the West, inflation in the East). │
│ As a result, we have held less equity exposure than usual for a period of high margins, low P/E multiples and │
│ strong earnings. Instead, we’ve held larger exposures to investment grade and high yield credit, and hedge │
│ funds. Over the last couple of years, our hedge funds (long-short funds with low net positions, macro hedge │
│ funds, distressed credit) have helped cushion portfolio returns when markets declined. We won’t know until the │
│ data comes in, but we expect the same to happen this time. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [5] The “Eye on the Market” has endlessly chronicled this year the fissures which are now affecting financial │
│ markets: European sovereign risk and inadequate bank capitalization; weak labor compensation as an Achilles heel │
│ of the US profits recovery, given its negative impact on spending; the political divide in Congress over how to │
│ deal with falling government revenue and rising entitlement spending; inflation risks in Asia and Latin America │
│ and the resulting need for more policy tightening; and the mixed track record of low interest rates to │
│ sustainability solve structural problems. The cover of the 2011 Outlook (a printing press, out of control) │
│ expressed our concern regarding a recovery built upon a stimulus machine. I would contrast this with the cover │
│ of a competitor’s 2011 publication, which had a picture of George Washington crossing the Delaware, with the │
│ caption “America’s structural resilience, fortitude and ingenuity will carry the economy and financial markets in │
│ 2011 – and beyond”. Our job is not to point to where we would like the financial markets to go, but rather to │
│ point to where they might end up. It’s like the scene in Oliver Stone’s Nixon, when Nixon looks up at a portrait │
│ of JFK and says, “When they look at you, they see what they want to be. When they look at me, they see what they │
│ are.” Our job is to see financial markets for what they are. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [6] All that said, we have lessons to learn here. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Too many of our investment discussions this year focused on the negative real return characteristics of cash, and │
│ why to reduce it. In a world of deflation risk on financial assets (rather than of goods and services), cash │
│ retains substantial option value at times like these. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ We could have connected the dots more aggressively on our views on weak growth and easy monetary policy, and │
│ owned more gold. While we have had rising price forecasts for gold and owned it in portfolios, we did not have │
│ large enough allocations. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Given the all-time high of US government transfers to households and negative real interest rates, we should not │
│ have interpreted positive economic data earlier this year as being highly representative of the true run-rate of │
│ the US economy. The same goes for the global economy, which has been the beneficiary of a lot of stimulus that │
│ is now fading, for a variety of economic and political reasons. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Great corporate profits are no guarantee against a problem in financial markets. Corporate profits and P/E │
│ multiples were fine in June 2007, but rested on top of a systemic problem in private sector credit markets and │
│ private sector balance sheets. This year, strong corporate profits and low P/E multiples sit on top of systemic │
│ problems in public sector finances. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ [7] In the wreckage, as usual, there are opportunities, and we will be reviewing them with you in the days ahead. │
│ There is a benefit to having held back on our firepower this year. With risk to spend held in reserve, there are │
│ oversold assets with considering, particularly among multinationals with strong balance sheets, high dividends │
│ and which trade at very low multiples, something we reviewed earlier in the week.” │

│ Eye on the Market, February 27, 2012 [the attached PDF is much easier to read this week, particularly if you are │
│ interested in the energy science implications of last week’s press release from the House Minority Leader] │
│ │
│ Topics: oil markets and Iran │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Most of this week’s note deals with oil prices and Iran, but I did want to point out a trend that is illustrative │
│ of how things are going globally. One of the strongest aspects of the US recovery has been the rebound in │
│ business spending on equipment and software. As highlighted by our friends at Hamiltonian Associates, sales by │
│ Caterpillar’s dealer network are a proxy for global trends. Caterpillar’s US sales are leading the pack for the │
│ first time in a while, Asia is moderating, and Europe trails with a distinctly negative trend. We expect a │
│ recovery in US payrolls this year, and eventually, in labor incomes. The US recovery may be weak by historical │
│ standards, but expectations are pretty low (2.2% growth in 2012). We expect the US to exceed expectations, and │
│ for Europe ex-Germany to disappoint them. Absent a blow-up in Iran, this view seems like it’s on track. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ “Iranium enrichment”: another hurdle for global markets to surmount │
│ │
│ The near-term fundamentals don’t point to higher oil prices. Oil demand has been revised down a bit, │
│ particularly in the OECD, and non-OPEC supply growth is a little higher in 2012 than in recent years. After │
│ netting all the supply and demand factors, it looks like there will be a global oil inventory build in 2012 (see │
│ chart below), not something we would normally associate with rising oil prices. However, even before we get to │
│ Iran, there are other factors contributing to higher prices: a pick-up in global growth expectations for 2013 and │
│ beyond; the explosion of Central Bank balance sheets and associated reflation goals (see last week’s EoTM); and │
│ the possibility that China’s will build strategic crude oil reserves to the IEA standard of 90 days from their │
│ current level of 14. Note as well that the inventory build is a small one, nowhere near 2002-2007 levels. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ That’s why Iran is a risk: a disruption would make oil markets even tighter, and drive gasoline prices up │
│ further. Even before the February spike, gasoline prices relative to earnings and income were starting to bite │
│ (2nd chart). The private sector can handle some gasoline price increases, but probably not much more than what │
│ we’ve seen already. The spread between retail and wholesale gasoline prices is low ($0.35, compared to a │
│ $0.35-$1.00 range), suggesting further retail increases may be in store. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ People like me now spend a lot of time on conference calls with geopolitical experts of different stripes. On │
│ one call, speakers raised the probability of military action from 30% to 50%. On another call, speakers │
│ mentioned that the US has “run out of senior military advisors to send to Israel, all requesting that Israel not │
│ attack unilaterally”, and believe Israel won’t. A paper by Matt Kroenig in Foreign Affairs magazine entitled │
│ “Time to Attack Iran; Why a Strike is the Least Bad Option” resulted in a firestorm of criticism from multiple │
│ sides. With sanctions appearing to work (Iran’s inflation, currency collapse, fewer buyers of its oil and a │
│ potential ban on Iranian banks from the global SWIFT payments network), won’t the US want to wait and see? Most │
│ of the US military establishment seems to take this view. The conjecture is endless. Here are a few points I │
│ found to be of greatest relevance as we sift through this: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** The US and Europe appear to take the Israeli attack threat seriously. Economic recoveries are just beginning │
│ to form in both regions, and there are elections coming up, so for politicians to ratchet up sanctions and drive │
│ up oil and gasoline prices, they must be very concerned that without tougher sanctions, the Israelis might act. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** Iran’s Fordow facility is key to understanding the debate about the effectiveness of military action, and why │
│ some are nervous that the “window for action is closing”. Fordow is estimated to be 80-90 meters below grade, │
│ and is suspected of being ready for uranium enrichment. The Iranians reportedly have ~80 kg of 20% enriched │
│ uranium (UF6), and need 25 kg more to convert it into enough uranium metal (UF4) for a nuclear bomb. The most │
│ powerful conventional weapon in the US arsenal is the Massive Ordnance Penetration device (MOP), a 30,000 pound │
│ bomb with 5,000 pounds of explosives. It travels at twice the speed of sound, and is designed to penetrate rock │
│ and concrete before detonating. However, it would probably take 4 of these weapons, dropped in succession by B-2 │
│ bombers in the same exact spot, to destroy Fordow [a]. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** Military strikes could quickly escalate to engulf the entire region. While the Israel-Iran and US-Iran │
│ dimensions are important to understand, so too are the Sunni-Shia issues in play. Any complicity by Sunni │
│ countries in conjunction with US action (airspace, attack plans and logistics, etc.) might be seen as acts of war │
│ by Iran. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ ** The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of the world’s oil (17 million bpd). There are active and de-activated │
│ pipelines in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE that could divert around 5-6 mm bpd, and strategic petroleum reserves │
│ could be released. Even so, a military battle in the Strait could cause oil prices to rise $20-$30, according to │
│ EIA and GAO 2007 estimates. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ To be fair to all the analysts, journalists and think tanks, there is no reason to expect greater foresight now │
│ than during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Iraq War or other military standoffs. This is a binary market risk that in │
│ our view justifies material consideration in portfolio allocations, and that’s about all we know. Our 2012 │
│ Outlook section on this issue was entitled “Learning to Live with a Nuclear Iran”, and that may very well be │
│ where this ends up. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ As a reminder, since 2001, rising oil prices have coincided with a gradual exhaustion of conventional oil to meet │
│ marginal demand, sharp increases in operating and commodity input costs for oil companies, deeper exploratory and │
│ developmental wells, reliance on a shrinking number of deepwater fields, rising E&P spending by US oil majors to │
│ meet rising EM demand, etc. A simplified version of this dynamic appears below: as oil production rises to meet │
│ global demand, the sources for the marginal barrel become more expensive and more complicated. Without getting │
│ into the whole Peak Oil thing, I do think there is evidence that the marginal cost of oil will be a speed bump on │
│ growth in the years ahead, if oil production has to rise over 90 million barrels per day to support demand and │
│ the building of strategic reserves. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Output from the Congressional Centrifuge │
│ │
│ In the midst of all the above, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued the following press release: │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ “Independent reports confirm that speculators are driving up the cost of oil, hurting consumers and potentially │
│ damaging the economic recovery. Wall Street profiteering, not oil shortages, is the cause of the price spike. In │
│ fact, U.S. oil production is at its highest level since 2003, and millions of acres have been cleared for │
│ additional development. We need to take strong action to protect consumers from this speculation. │
│ Unfortunately, Republicans have chosen to protect the interests of Wall Street speculators and oil companies │
│ instead of the interests of working Americans by obstructing the agencies with the responsibility of enforcing │
│ consumer protection laws. They have also repeatedly opposed our efforts to end billions of dollars in outdated │
│ taxpayer subsidies for oil companies enjoying record profits. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ We support efforts by the Obama Administration to expand domestic energy resources, including natural gas and │
│ renewable sources like wind and solar that create jobs in America and will end our dangerous dependence on │
│ foreign energy supplies. This can be achieved because today, the United States currently has more oil and gas │
│ rigs at work than the rest of the world combined, and imports of foreign oil have decreased. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ We call on the Republican leadership to act on behalf of American consumers and join our efforts to crack down on │
│ speculators who care more about their profits than the price at the pump even if these spikes harm the American │
│ consumer and our economy.” │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ I am of course not going to comment directly on this, for many reasons, including not wanting to spend my days at │
│ California’s solar-powered detention facility in Chuckawalla Valley. However, for anyone interested in the │
│ specific points raised in this press release, I have included some charts on the unfortunately binding │
│ constraints of science and energy economics. Enjoy. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ 5. Now let’s get to the interesting part. The press release implies that natural gas and renewable energy can │
│ reduce American dependence on foreign oil (“end” is the word used). This is an appealing proposition, │
│ particularly with Brent oil prices now 5 times higher than natural gas prices on a BTU basis. So, let’s assume │
│ that the US wanted to cease all oil imports from Venezuela, Russia and the Persian Gulf. This would reduce oil │
│ imports by ~30%. If Americans still wanted to drive around just as much, absent an increase of 2.8 million bpd in │
│ US domestic crude production, electricity would have to replace the foregone gasoline. Ergo: how much wind power │
│ or natural gas would be needed, assuming electric cars at 200 watt hours per km? And what policies would be │
│ needed on fracking, eminent domain, and subsidies for high voltage direct current power lines to transmit │
│ electricity at acceptable loss rates? │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Note: the charts below only account for the foregone gasoline component of the imported crude oil. Gasoline is │
│ only around 45%-50% of total refined products. The US would also have to come up with suitable domestic or │
│ foreign replacements for the rest of the barrel: jet fuel, heating oil, fuel oil, lube oils, asphalt, etc. This │
│ is a topic that is often neglected in discussions about reducing reliance on foreign oil: we do a lot more with │
│ it than just drive cars. │

│ [Note a] Austin Long at Columbia University walked me through the geodynamics of the MOP and how many would be │
│ needed to penetrate the Fordow facility. His calculations are a function of soil hardness/density, the weapon’s │
│ mass and impact velocity, the shape of its cone, and the percentage of each penetration that collapses back in as │
│ “spoil”, blocking the hole created by previous weapons. The estimate of 4 MOPs is based on the assumption of a │
│ modest amount of gravel spoilage, and less dense soil. Higher soil density and gravel estimates could require │
│ 2-4 more bombs. │

│ Eye on the Market, April 9, 2012 (attached pdf is easier to read this week) │
│ │
│ Topics: Q&A on the USA, with a watchful eye on the risk of giant man-eating plants; Spain │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Our view for 2012 was that economic and equity market conditions in the US and Asia ex-Japan would be better than │
│ in Europe. So far, that view is on track. Spain in particular is in difficult shape (see page 5); its banks and │
│ government may have to borrow 1.5 trillion Euros over the next 12 months while in recession. Both the ECB and EU │
│ will need to keep the spigot open to prevent Spain from becoming a bigger problem. This week, some Q&A on the US │
│ recovery, flows into bonds and stocks, profits and P/E multiples, municipal bonds, and the long-term US fiscal │
│ situation. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The Fed appears to be saying that no additional monetary easing is needed unless the economy worsens further. │
│ Are there any signs that the US recovery is becoming self-reinforcing? │
│ │
│ Durable goods consumption, equipment & software spending, vehicle sales, bank loans to companies, manufacturing │
│ payrolls (even after Friday’s disappointing report) and housing stats (building permits, multifamily housing │
│ starts) have improved over the last few months. While delinquency rates are in better shape (credit card │
│ delinquencies are back to 2007 levels), household credit growth is still weak. However, homebuilders are seeing │
│ stronger demand, and nationwide remodeling continues to rise. We see opportunities in retailing and building │
│ products companies that may benefit from a continuation in these trends. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Has the data really been that good? I heard better US economic data has a lot to do with the weather. │
│ │
│ Parts of the US experienced the warmest March in recorded history. Measured from December to February, the │
│ winter was the 4th warmest on record. I don’t think there are reliable models to estimate the impact of demand │
│ being pulled forward, so we will have to see how consumer spending, housing and payrolls behave in the months │
│ ahead. As our Chief Economist Michael Vaknin reminds me, other distortions come from the “catch-up” effect from │
│ Japan’s tsunami. As shown below, some strength in auto sales came from pent-up demand for Japanese cars, a │
│ process which now seems complete. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ So where does that leave the US payroll and growth picture? │
│ │
│ The weakness in the payroll report was almost entirely concentrated in retailing. Net of distortions and │
│ seasonal adjustments, it looks like payroll growth is running at 150-175k per month, and GDP growth is running at │
│ a 2.25% trend pace, both below prior recoveries. While 2.25% is a barn-burner compared to Europe, it only │
│ corresponds to a modest improvement in employment. That’s why 2013 US fiscal policy is so important: this is not │
│ a recovery that can withstand much tighter fiscal conditions. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ So, how tight is US fiscal policy supposed to get next year? │
│ │
│ Very, if you look at what is supposed to happen according to current law. In the chart, we show the annual change │
│ in the budget deficit over the last 25 years. The impact of all provisions scheduled to expire and kick in │
│ during 2013 would be very large. But if Congress and the President elect to extend current tax rates, retain │
│ lower payroll tax rates and extended jobless benefits, etc, the adjustment would not be as big, and only reflect │
│ expiration of Recovery Act provisions, the recently passed Budget Control Act, and some other smaller provisions. │
│ There are of course plenty of permutations in between. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ What direction is the Congress heading, and what did Larry Summers and Brad DeLong have to say about this │
│ recently? │
│ │
│ Political outcomes this fall will affect what Congress does, but I get the sense that they will punt fiscal │
│ adjustments into the future if they can, and impose austerity of no more than 1% of GDP in 2013. If so, │
│ Congress can point to a March 2012 paper by Summers and DeLong as justification. The bottom line from the paper: │
│ don’t tighten fiscal policy when interest rates are near zero. The authors assert that (a) additional government │
│ spending can ease the long-term budget constraint in conditions similar to today’s, and (b) tightening policy now │
│ would risk permanent loss of human capital, lower labor productivity growth and lower trend growth. They have │
│ held these views for a while; the paper appears designed to convince others. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Advocates for more fiscal and monetary stimulus often point to the charts below. Rising Federal debt has not │
│ resulted in higher interest rates, so why not keep borrowing more? As for the Fed, balance sheet expansion │
│ prevented deflation and hasn’t resulted in an inflationary surge (core inflation measured over 3 months just came │
│ in below 2%), so why not keep doing it? Aren’t these charts amazing? │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ They are amazing, but no one knows how long they can be sustained. Even Summers and DeLong concede that “even if │
│ it is granted that the stimulus can be both timely and temporary, the question of how large it can be while │
│ preserving these attributes remains for future research”. If one of these trends could not be sustained, my │
│ guess is that it would be fiscal constraints rather than monetary ones. While it’s great to see rising Federal │
│ debt not adversely affecting Treasury markets, the chart on the left reminds me of The Day of the Triffids. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ What is The Day of the Triffids? │
│ │
│ It’s a 1951 science fiction novel. There’s a meteor shower, and most people go outside to look at it. The next │
│ morning, everyone who looked at the meteor shower ends up blind, and Earth is taken over by giant man-eating │
│ venomous plants. The point: some amazing events which look benign have unforeseen consequences. Will a pact of │
│ going for growth pay the freight of higher Federal debt in the long run? Hard to say; there are not a lot of │
│ examples to draw from. Economic theories and their associated debt bubbles don’t always work out as planned [a]. │
│ After WWII, the US also faced a debt ratio of 80% of GDP. Austerity was not the answer back then; government │
│ receipts and outlays as a % of GDP did not change much during the 1950’s, and net debt was flat. So how did US │
│ debt/GDP fall from 80% to 46% in just ten years? Robust annualized real growth of more than 4.0%, and 2.0% │
│ inflation. However, unique economic conditions and productivity gains of the 1950’s (e.g., interstate highway, │
│ rebuilding of Europe and Japan) may not be repeated, and the country was not headed into an entitlement time │
│ bomb. If the US does not experience a growth/productivity boom, the burden of higher debt could last for a │
│ generation or more. A pro-growth Administration would probably help, but the difficulty lay in defining exactly │
│ what that means. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Are there debt vs austerity parallels at the state and local level? │
│ │
│ Yes and no. At the state and local level, over last decade, more than 1 trillion in unfunded pension and │
│ healthcare (OPEB) related liabilities were recognized (they were accrued over a longer period). Even these │
│ “as-reported” estimates, which come from the states, may be underestimated. A 2011 analysis by the Joint │
│ Economic Committee shows that lower portfolio return assumptions on pension assets sharply increase the magnitude │
│ of underfunded pensions (see chart, right). │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ However, there’s more of an effort at the state/local level to address this issue than at the Federal level. │
│ More than 40 states lowered pension benefit liabilities over the last 3 years according to the National │
│ Conference of State Legislatures. Measures taken include raising employee contributions (while lowering employer │
│ payments), raising minimum retirement ages, cutting post-employment healthcare benefits and in some cases, │
│ switching to defined contribution from defined benefit plans. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The good news, to paraphrase Mark Twain, is that reports of municipal bonds’ demise have been greatly │
│ exaggerated. From 1970 through to the end of 2011, municipal bonds rated by Moody’s experienced a grand total of │
│ 71 defaults among 17,700 issuers (11 of which occurred during 2010 and 2011). General obligation bonds accounted │
│ for 5 defaults; 29 were related to housing; 22 for hospitals and healthcare; 3-4 each for education and │
│ infrastructure. Utilities and cities registered 2 each, while counties, special districts, and water & sewer and │
│ experienced 1 each. The average recovery for defaulted munis was 65%, compared to 49% on corporate senior │
│ unsecured bonds. Last comment on municipals: while local tax collections are weak due to the collapse in home │
│ prices, state tax collections have been increasing for 7 quarters in a row. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ OK, so the US economy is improving, but is still heavily dependent on monetary and fiscal stimulus to grow; and │
│ the only belt-tightening one can find is at the state and local level. Since 2009, after equities collapsed and │
│ bond prices rose, how have many investors reacted? │
│ │
│ By selling more equities and buying a lot more bonds. See chart above (a global version of this chart looks │
│ roughly the same). │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Have investors been positioning this way since stocks are expensive? │
│ │
│ Not really. Insert a giant martini glass on the chart below from 1998 to 2001 (I hate using simple averages │
│ which include periods when the market had lost its collective mind). The current P/E multiple is in the middle │
│ of the ex-bubble range of the last 25 years. Some bank stocks look interesting, even after accounting for │
│ reliance on shrinking loan loss reserves to drive income, and ongoing regulatory uncertainty. Most US banks are │
│ at or close to Basel 3 funding needs, have considerably fewer capital adequacy questions than their European │
│ counterparts, and do not rely on wholesale funding to finance loan portfolios. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Now that P/E multiples have risen off the bottom, what’s the outlook for P/E multiples and earnings from here? │
│ │
│ The return on the S&P this year has been a function of P/E multiples rising (from 11.3x to 12.9x), a big part of │
│ which has been Apple (3% of the S&P index, 15% of S&P’s YTD returns). As shown below, earnings revisions have │
│ been negative for 2012, but analysts are still optimistic about 2013. According to Morgan Stanley, analysts are │
│ forecasting the highest percentage of companies posting 2013 margin expansion since 1970, and by a very wide │
│ margin. In our view, it will be difficult for multiples to rise further unless earnings outperform │
│ expectations, particularly if Europe’s structural problems take center stage again. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ The place that worries me the most: Spain. It ranks at or close to the bottom in a lot of categories (see │
│ table), and its growth outlook is poor. Historically, this kind of thing has not ended well. Spain has │
│ defaulted 13 times since 1500 AD; it’s probably going to take a lot of bilateral aid and ECB financing to prevent │
│ another one. │

│ I'll make this quick. I have one question and one observation about Mitt Romney's visit to Israel. The question │
│ is this: Since the whole trip was not about learning anything but about how to satisfy the political whims of the │
│ right-wing, super pro-Bibi Netanyahu, American Jewish casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, why didn't they just │
│ do the whole thing in Las Vegas? I mean, it was all about money anyway — how much Romney would abase │
│ himself by saying whatever the Israeli right wanted to hear and how big a jackpot of donations Adelson would │
│ shower on the Romney campaign in return. Really, Vegas would have been so much more appropriate than │
│ Jerusalem. They could have constructed a plastic Wailing Wall and saved so much on gas. │

│ The observation is this: Much of what is wrong with the U.S.-Israel relationship today can be found in that │
│ Romney trip. In recent years, the Republican Party has decided to make Israel a wedge issue. In order to garner │
│ more Jewish (and evangelical) votes and money, the G.O.P. decided to "out-pro-Israel" the Democrats by being │
│ even more unquestioning of Israel. This arms race has pulled the Democratic Party to the right on the Middle │
│ East and has basically forced the Obama team to shut down the peace process and drop any demands that Israel │
│ freeze settlements. This, in turn, has created a culture in Washington where State Department officials, not to │
│ mention politicians, are reluctant to even state publicly what is U.S. policy — that settlements are "an obstacle │
│ to peace" — for fear of being denounced as anti-Israel. │
│ Add on top of that, the increasing role of money in U.S. politics and the importance of single donors who can │
│ write megachecks to "super PACs" — and the fact that the main Israel lobby, Aipac, has made itself the feared │
│ arbiter of which lawmakers are "pro" and which are "anti-Israel" and, therefore, who should get donations and │
│ who should not — and you have a situation in which there are almost no brakes, no red lights, around Israel │
│ coming from America anymore. No wonder settlers now boast on op-ed pages that the game is over, they've │
│ won, the West Bank will remain with Israel forever — and they don't care what absorbing all of its Palestinians │
│ will mean for Israel's future as a Jewish democracy. │
│ It is into this environment that Romney wandered to add more pandering and to declare how he will be so much │
│ nicer to Israel than big, bad Obama. This is a canard. On what matters to Israel's survival — advanced │
│ weaponry and intelligence — Defense Minister Ehud Barak told CNN on Monday, "I should tell you honestly │
│ that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can │
│ remember in the past." │
│ While Romney had time for a $50,000-a-plate breakfast with American Jewish donors in Jerusalem, with │
│ Adelson at his elbow, he did not have two hours to go to Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority, to meet │
│ with its president, Mahmoud Abbas, or to share publicly any ideas on how he would advance the peace process. │
│ He did have time, though, to point out to his Jewish hosts that Israelis are clearly more culturally │
│ entrepreneurial │
│ than Palestinians. Israel today is an amazing beehive of innovation — thanks, in part, to an influx of Russian │
│ brainpower, massive U.S. aid and smart policies. It's something Jews should be proud of But had Romney gone │
│ to Ramallah he would have seen a Palestinian beehive of entrepreneurship, too, albeit small, but not bad for a │
│ people living under occupation. Palestinian business talent also built the Persian Gulf states. In short, Romney │
│ didn't know what he was talking about. │
│ On peace, the Palestinians' diplomacy has been a fractured mess, and I still don't know if they can be a partner │
│ for a secure two-state deal with even the most liberal Israeli government. But I do know this: It is in Israel's │
│ overwhelming interest to test, test and have the U.S. keep testing creative ideas for a two-state solution. That │
│ is │
│ what a real U.S. friend would promise to do. Otherwise, Israel could be doomed to become a kind of apartheid │
│ South Africa. │
│ And here is what I also know: The three U.S. statesmen who have done the most to make Israel more secure and │
│ accepted in the region all told blunt truths to every Israeli or Arab leader: Jimmy Carter, who helped forge a │
│ lasting peace between Israel and Egypt; Henry Kissinger, who built the post-1973 war disengagement │
│ agreements with Syria, Israel and Egypt; and James Baker, who engineered the Madrid peace conference. All of │
│ them knew that to make progress in this region you have to get in the face of both sides. They both need the │
│ excuse at times that "the Americans made me do it," because their own politics are too knotted to move on their │
│ own. │
│ So how about all you U.S. politicians — Republicans and Democrats — stop feeding off this conflict for │
│ political gain. Stop using this conflict as a backdrop for campaign photo-ops and fund-raisers. Stop making │
│ things even worse by telling the most hard-line Israelis everything that they want to hear, just to grovel for │
│ Jewish votes and money, while blatantly ignoring the other side. There are real lives at stake out there. If │
│ you're │
│ not going to do something constructive, stay away. They can make enough trouble for themselves on their own. │

│ Global Asset Allocation │
│ │
│ ________________________________ │
│ │
│ The J.P. Morgan View: Go East. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ Click here <http://emaillink.jpmorgan.com/t/AQ/AAGO5g/AAMcAQ/OFFmSw/EGA/ABYQPQ/AQ/16gv> for the full Note and │
│ disclaimers. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ * Asset allocation –– The growth gap between East and West is widening, and has allowed us to join the │
│ Obama Pivot towards Asia. We stay long Japan and EM Asia in equities on stronger signs of an economic rebound in │
│ the East, while we again cut growth numbers for the US and Europe. │
│ │
│ * Economics –– Weaker activity data force us to lower Q4 for the US from 1.5% to 0.8% and the Euro area │
│ from -1.5% to -1.8%. But strong trade and industrial data in Asia, as well as more fiscal easing in Japan, have │
│ induced us to raise Japanese growth for the 3rd time in a row, and to signal upside risk on China. │
│ │
│ * Fixed Income –– Go long duration in the US as we see yields mean reverting and we are not quite high in │
│ the 6-month range. │
│ │
│ * Equities –– Strong retail buying is adding fuel to equity markets. │
│ │
│ * Credit –– Idiosyncrasies driving relative performance signals a welcome move-away from the │
│ one-factor-drives-all world of late. │
│ │
│ * Currencies –– Staying short JPY. Be also short USD but against AUD, RUB and KRW. │
│ │
│ * Commodities –– Our main trades are long industrial metals, US natural gas, and Brent time spreads vs. │
│ short agriculture. │
│ │
│ * Another good week for risk markets with equities and credit rallying further, but this week without a │
│ selloff in bonds. Much of the rally in equities is likely the aftermath of the last minute escape from Fiscal │
│ Cliff 1 on December 31. But since then, we have also seen a sudden surge in equity fund inflows, which seem │
│ incongruous with lukewarm incoming data and thus may well come from investors who missed last year's stock market │
│ rally. In 2012, fund investors poured $680bn into bond mutual funds and ETFs, while taking some $23bn out of │
│ equity funds. │
│ │
│ * Given the recent vintage of these equity fund inflows, they are unlikely to reverse quickly as there is │
│ not a lot of profit on them yet. Near-term momentum thus remains good for stocks, in our view. At the same time, │
│ the more bullish sentiment on stocks is now sending a contrarian signal. Last year, we based much of our long │
│ equity recommendation on our impression that most market participants saw more downside risk across the globe │
│ than we thought would become realized. This does not appear to be the case anymore, as the main remaining market │
│ concern is only about Fiscal Cliff 2. No more talk of Chinese hard landing or a Greek exit. Hence, the case for │
│ being long risk assets is more value based, rather than the reversal in risk perceptions which we think has │
│ largely happened by now. We would therefore describe our remaining longs in equities and credit as modest and │
│ medium term. │
│ │
│ * │
│ │
│ * We could again be induced to move our equity overweight to an “aggressive” level, if there were to be │
│ reason to raise growth and earnings projections. All we have so far is improved forward looking indicators – │
│ largely PMIs and positive feedback from asset markets – that are signaling a pickup in growth this quarter. But │
│ so far, this is simply confirming our and consensus views on how the year is set to start. They are not allowing │
│ us yet to upgrade our global growth expectations (Chart on right). │
│ │
│ * More ominously, the continued strong rallies in risk markets to new highs for the cycle are hiding the │
│ fact that recent hard data on Q4 activity have again forced us to lower our estimate of Q4 global GDP growth, now │
│ to 1.7%, largely due to the US and Europe. The average global growth pace of the past 3 months has fallen to only │
│ 1.8%, barely more than half of trend. The expectation remains that Q1 should come in at 2.4% as both Japan and │
│ the Euro area exit recession. │
│ │
│ * While staying overall long risk markets, both credit and equities at the moment, we have increasingly │
│ focused on tactical cross-market exposures, and in particular the underweight of US equities. In GMOS this week, │
│ we took profit on the overweight of Euro area equities against the US given the still very weak economy, with Q4 │
│ likely now the biggest GDP decline since the end of the global recession (We do stay overweight Euro periphery │
│ bond). But we remain aggressively overweight both Japan and EM Asia versus the US, with Japan currency hedged. │
│ The upside surprise on Chinese CPI today dented its equity market somewhat, but we think this will be temporary │
│ as it should not yet lead to monetary tightening. The recent set of strong trade and industrial data from China │
│ and the region are signaling to us significant upside risk on Q1 and 2013 growth projections. │
│ │
│ * We have been long Japanese equities since Nov 16, which more by luck than skill defined the beginning │
│ of its equity rally. Topix is up 20% since then, almost straight line. We believe new PM Abe conviction and │
│ political power to reflate the economy are real. It has already helped the yen lose 10% versus the dollar. Given │
│ this move, faster fiscal easing and support from equities, we have raised our 2013 growth forecast for a 3rd │
│ time, this time to 0.8%. We stay long the Japanese reflation trade. │
│ │
│ Fixed Income │
│ │
│ * Bonds recovered some of their losses from last week, but remain down on the year. We do not see the │
│ current surge in equities as a negative for bonds, yet, as equity inflows are not coming out of bond funds, and │
│ growth remains too weak to elicit an early end to QE. With USTs very much at the top of their 6-month trading │
│ range, we go tactically long duration, but would take profit soon on a decent rally. In the Euro are, in │
│ contrast, the continued flow into the periphery should remain negative for Bund and euro swaps. We retain a │
│ bearish bias here. │
│ │
│ Equities │
│ │
│ * Equities are up again this week, helped by rapidly improving equity ETF inflows. Strong buying by │
│ retail investors is adding fuel to equity markets against a backdrop of rather subdued macro drivers, maintaining │
│ a positive-near term momentum. The reporting season is also helping with US companies beating so far by 2% the │
│ bottom up analysts’ estimates at the beginning of the year. │
│ │
│ * Our recommended equity portfolio focuses on regional and sectoral exposures. Underweighting US equities │
│ remains our main regional theme. This trade also protects our portfolio against looming debt ceiling risks. US │
│ equities had been the consensus overweight by equity investors for two years and their outperformance started │
│ reversing over the summer. US equities have so far erased their 2012 outperformance but are far from erasing │
│ their 2011 outperformance. │
│ │
│ * We focus the US equity underweight against EM Asia and Japan. In GMOS this week, we took profit on our │
│ overweight in MSCI EMU versus S&P500 given looming Italian election risks into February, and still disappointing │
│ European economic activity data. We stay overweight in Topix vs. S&P500 currency hedged. Fiscal easing, financed │
│ via debt monetization, and coupled with structural reforms has the potential to sustain this trade beyond a 3-6 │
│ month horizon, in our view. This week’s fiscal stimulus announced by the Japanese gov’t appears supportive of the │
│ Japanese trade. │
│ │
│ * Across sectors we favor Cyclical vs. Defensive sectors but have taken part profit as the pace of the │
│ improvement in the global manufacturing PMI slowed in December. We stay overweight the DJ US Home Construction │
│ Index and large mortgage banks (BKX Index) vs. the S&P500 to position for a continued recovery in US housing. │
│ │
│ Credit │
│ │
│ * High-grade spreads and yields were a few bps tighter this week, although US and European high-yield │
│ continued to rally strongly. Double-digit spread tightening sent both to new all-time yield lows; now just 5.9% │
│ in the US and 6.5% in Europe. The clear outlier this week was EMBIG, the ill health of the Venezuelan president │
│ and a NY court ruling in favor of hold-out creditors in Argentina’s ‘pari passu’ saga helped push spreads up │
│ 12bp. We believe such idiosyncrasies driving relative performance signals an uncharacteristic break-down in │
│ spread correlations and a welcome move-away from the one-factor-drives-all world of late. │
│ │
│ * The strength of equity flows has caught our attention this week, but there is little evidence of a │
│ wider rotation out of bonds. There has indeed been some evidence of bond into equity fund flows in ETFs (best │
│ seen through our flow radars in Flows & Liquidity), but bond mutual funds continue to see inflows, which │
│ accelerated this week. Also, our client survey reports on-going demand for credit and new issues remain well bid │
│ (see CMOS and F&L for more details). │
│ │
│ Foreign Exchange │
│ │
│ * 2013 has started with bubbling optimism across global markets. Equities are approaching five-year highs │
│ and credit spreads their five-year lows, while government bonds are selling off worldwide and inflation │
│ breakevens behave (outside the UK). And per the traditional pattern, the dollar is falling versus most │
│ currencies, except those which entered 2013 with enormous liabilities – the yen given Japan’s full-throated │
│ commitment to looser monetary and fiscal policy, and the rand on sovereign credit and balance of payment │
│ concerns. EUR/USD has spiked since Thursday’s ECB meeting but is underperforming much of the commodity complex │
│ (MXN, CLP, AUD, NZD) year-to-date, highlighting that China's data surprises this week count for as much as a │
│ less-worried ECB. │
│ │
│ * These country-specific issues are more powerful than systemic ones for the moment, which is likely why │
│ correlations across dollar-based pairs have sunk to three-year lows. The yen story still looks to us the most │
│ unique – USD/JPY is the only major asset globally where vols are up this year – and the one with broader │
│ consequences for neighbors (through EM Asian intervention policy). Hence, this week's focus in our FX Markets │
│ Weekly on two other dimensions of the bearish yen view: what is the currency worth if the BoJ successfully │
│ delivers 2% inflation, and how broad is the yen short. │
│ │
│ * To those who believe in purchasing power parity (and we are not amongst them), USD/JPY could move to │
│ 100 on a credible BoJ. Realizing these extreme targets requires Japanese participation in this yen move, since │
│ international investors could reach their risk limits on yen shorts. So far domestics look fairly unconvinced. │
│ Japan has been posting net capital outflows (foreign purchases of JGBs minus Japanese purchases of foreign bonds) │
│ since mid-2011, but the pace of those outflows has not increased since then-candidate Shinzo Abe began calling │
│ for much looser monetary policy. Stay short yen on the possibility that locals join the move, but rotate │
│ exposure. Book gains on a KRW/JPY one-touch, a USD/JPY seagull and CHF/JPY cash. Stay long NOK/JPY and re-enter │
│ EUR/JPY (both in cash). Stay short USD vs a basket of AUD, RUB and KRW. │
│ │
│ Commodities │
│ │
│ * Commodities are up around 1% this week, with all sectors gaining ground. In Wednesday’s GMOS, we │
│ retained all our previous positions. Our main trades are long Brent time spreads (long front vs. third futures │
│ contract), long industrial metals, long US natural gas and short agriculture. Production losses in the North Sea │
│ should support our Brent trade, while the current economic rebound in China should push industrial metals higher. │
│ US Natural gas should benefit from the ongoing switch from coal to gas for power generation and 2013 should see │
│ the first slowdown in production since the boom began five years ago. │
│ │
│ * The GSCI agriculture index has already reversed around 80% of its rise in summer 2012 as farmers have │
│ planted a much larger area, which means a higher likelihood of much higher future supply. We stay short for now │
│ as we think this downtrend has further to go. We are also long gasoil vs. Brent. Global inventories are very low │
│ and demand from Asia is picking up, consistent with the economic data, which we expect to improve further over │
│ the coming months. An expected cold snap should also help push demand higher through January │
│ │
│ * We took profit on our long position in gold last Friday and year-to-date gold is down around 1%. We │
│ believe many investors had bought gold over the past few years to hedge against the risk of “QE unlimited.” The │
│ recent FOMC minutes, however, have since raised the risk of an early end to QE, reducing to need to hedge through │
│ gold. The risk is thus that a number of market participants will reduce their gold hedges, pushing gold prices │
│ down further. We still like gold as a hedge against long-term inflation risks once global growth returns to trend │
│ and we would look to reopen the position at around $1,550/oz.. │

│ policy issue just months after winning his │
│ second term. │
│ But the visit will highlight how much the │
│ region has changed since he last visited │
│ the Middle East in his first year in office, │
│ with the rise of Islamist governments and │
│ the widening repercussions of civil │
│ revolt. │
│ After Obama helped topple Moammar │
│ Gaddafi in Libya in 2011, many in the │
│ region wondered when he would emerge │
│ again to help shape the course of the │
│ tumultuous Arab Spring, which has │
│ replaced a pair of U.S.-allied │
│ dictatorships with elected Islamist │
│ governments. │
│ Within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, │
│ much has changed since the direct peace │
│ talks Obama inaugurated in September │
│ 2010 collapsed within weeks. Israel's │
│ recent battle with the armed Hamas │
│ movement in the Gaza Strip left many │
│ predicting a wider fight in the future, as │
│ divisions deepened within the Palestinian │
│ and Israeli electorates over whether talks │
│ or war would resolve the conflict. │
│ "To make it a substantive trip that is │
│ more than a positive photo-op would │
│ require setting up a specific framework │
│ for an agreement and setting a tight │
│ deadline to achieve it," said Jeremy Ben- │
│ Ami, the executive director of J Street, a │
│ nonprofit group that advocates the │
│ creation of a Palestinian state alongside │
│ Israel. │
│ White House officials would not provide │
│ a date for Obama's trip, which he will │
│ squeeze into the tight schedule he is │
│ building around a busy domestic agenda │
│ that includes immigration, guns and the │
│ economy. │
│ But Israeli media reported that Obama is │
│ scheduled to arrive March 20 as part of a │
│ trip that will include a stop in Jordan, │
│ where the civil war in next-door Syria │
│ and its growing refugee crisis is │
│ presenting a major challenge to King │
│ Abdullah II, a U.S. ally. │
│ Obama began his first term by making a │
│ strong push for peace talks between Israel │
│ and the Palestinians, believing the │
│ conflict fueled radicalism in the region in │
│ general and toward the United States in │
│ particular, given its historical support for │
│ the Jewish state. │
│ In contrast to predecessor George W. │
│ Bush, Obama wanted to demonstrate to │
│ Arab governments that the United States │
│ would make demands of Israel in pursuit │
│ of a regional peace agreement. │
│ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin │
│ Netanyahu made little secret of his │
│ preference for Republican Mitt Romney │
│ in last year's U.S. presidential campaign. │
│ Netanyahu and Obama have at times │
│ disagreed bitterly over issues relating to │
│ the Palestinians, including Israel's │
│ continued settlement construction in the │
│ West Bank and East Jerusalem. │
│ Israel's military occupied those │
│ territories, along with Gaza, in the 1967 │
│ Arab-Israeli war. Palestinians view them │
│ as the key territorial elements of their │
│ future state. │
│ In a June 2009 address in Cairo, a speech │
│ that asked for a "new beginning" with the │
│ Islamic world, Obama said: "The United │
│ States does not accept the legitimacy of │
│ continued Israeli settlements." He also │
│ did not stop in Israel on that trip, instead │
│ visiting Saudi Arabia, Egypt and │
│ Germany, where he emphasized the │
│ horror of the Holocaust and the moral │
│ imperative of defending Israel. Romney, │
│ among others, made the omission a │
│ campaign issue. │
│ But on regional security issues, Obama │
│ and Netanyahu have deepened │
│ cooperation amid rising U.S. military aid │
│ to Israel. Obama has agreed with │
│ Netanyahu that Iran must not be allowed │
│ to use its uranium-enrichment program to │
│ develop a nuclear weapon, an issue that │
│ the two will discuss during Obama's │
│ visit. │
│ Netanyahu's Likud party emerged from │
│ elections last month as the largest bloc in │
│ Israel's parliament, meaning that he will │
│ serve another term as prime minister. But │
│ a surprisingly strong showing by a new │
│ centrist party is likely to put more │
│ pressure on him to pursue talks. │
│ "It was a mistake for Obama not to go in │
│ the first term at a time when it could have │
│ affected Israeli public opinion of him, │
│ and now, it has hardened against him to a │
│ point that I don't believe it can," said │
│ Elliott Abrams, a senior fellow at the │
│ Council on Foreign Relations who served │
│ as a senior Middle East adviser to Bush. │
│ Obama's visit will coincide with growing │
│ concern in the region that the two-state │
│ solution favored by him is in peril, as │
│ Israeli settlement construction continues │
│ and as the Islamist Hamas gains clout │
│ within the once-secular Palestinian │
│ nationalist movement. Hamas emerged │
│ stronger politically from the recent clash │
│ with Israel and continues to reject the │
│ Jewish state's right to exist. │
│ Hamas and its secular rival Fatah are due │
│ to meet Saturday as part of a │
│ reconciliation process. If an agreement is │
│ reached and Hamas joins the Palestinian │
│ Authority, Obama will be faced with an │
│ awkward decision on whether to meet │
│ with a government that includes members │
│ of a U.S.- │
│ designated terrorist movement. │
│ As he begins again in the region, Obama │
│ will be advised by new Secretary of State │
│ John F. Kerry. He has also named former │
│ senator Chuck Hagel as defense │
│ secretary, a nomination still in question │
│ after an unsteady performance by the │
│ candidate before the Senate Armed │
│ Services Committee last week that │
│ focused in part on his past criticism of │
│ Israel. │
│ "This trip is a signal that the president │
│ has an interest, not just in the peace issue, │
│ but also in the broader concerns that │
│ Israel is facing," said Dennis Ross, a │
│ senior Middle East adviser to Obama │
│ during his first term who is at the │
│ Washington Institute for Near East │
│ Policy. "In some ways, it will be the │
│ president traveling to Israel to ask for a │
│ new beginning." │
│ Article 2. │
│ Foreign Policy │
│ Saeb Erekat - The Peace │
│ Processor │
│ An interview by Aaron David Miller │
│ February 5, 2013 -- Other than Mahmoud │
│ Abbas, Saeb Erekat could be the most │
│ recognizable Palestinian on the planet. │
│ The chief Palestinian negotiator is │
│ certainly among the most passionate in │
│ promoting the cause. And nobody on the │
│ Palestinian side knows the substance of │
│ the issues or the negotiating history │
│ better. │
│ I first met Erekat in the late 1980s, while │
│ working on the Palestinian issue for then │
│ Secretary of State George Shultz. Back │
│ then, the U.S.-educated diplomat was │
│ already showing the brashness and │
│ outspokenness that would make him one │
│ of the most memorable -- if exasperating │
│ -- of the Palestinians with whom we │
│ dealt. │
│ He annoyed then Secretary of State │
│ James Baker by wearing his kaffiyeh │
│ around his shoulders at the opening of the │
│ Madrid Peace Conference in October │
│ 1991. And over the years, he continued to │
│ annoy the Israelis too with his fiery │
│ performances on CNN -- though to this │
│ day, key Israeli negotiators, such as Isaac │
│ Molho, continue to praise his pragmatism │
│ at the bargaining table. │
│ It was Erekat's academic bent, analytical │
│ chops, and capacity to write in English │
│ that would make him so indispensable to │
│ the only Palestinian who really counted │
│ in those days -- Yasir Arafat. Erekat was │
│ a unique figure -- neither a fighter (no │
│ nom de guerre for him), nor a PLO │
│ insider, nor an organization man from │
│ Tunis. Rather, he was a West Banker │
│ from Jericho, and he succeeded in │
│ maintaining his relevance in a Palestinian │
│ political scene dominated not by fellow │
│ academics, but by hard men defined by │
│ struggle and intrigue. During the heady │
│ days of the peace process, he became a │
│ key point of contact for the Americans, │
│ the Israelis, the Arabs, and much of the │
│ rest of the international community. │
│ I came to know Erekat not only as a │
│ negotiator, but as a person. He sent his │
│ kids to Seeds of Peace, a conflict │
│ resolution and coexistence organization │
│ that I ran briefly after leaving the State │
│ Department, and my daughter befriended │
│ his and stayed with the Erekats in │
│ Jericho. Saeb and I have yelled at each │
│ other, defended our respective positions, │
│ laughed, and mourned opportunities that │
│ were never adequately explored. But │
│ through it all, what he said about himself │
│ was true: He wasn't as pro-Palestinian or │
│ pro-Israeli as much as he was pro-peace. │
│ That peace has proven elusive to this day. │
│ But with all our differences -- and there │
│ are many -- I believe Erekat believes in │
│ its possibility. Who else would list as an │
│ "objective" on his resume: "Solve the │
│ Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on a two │
│ state negotiated solution through │
│ diplomatic offices"? │
│ If, or perhaps when, another effort to │
│ negotiate a deal is made, one thing is │
│ clear -- Erekat will be in the middle of it. │
│ Last week, he agreed to answer my │
│ questions on the past and future of the │
│ Israeli-Palestinian problem. │
│ FP: What were your best and worst │
│ moments in the Israeli-Palestinian │
│ negotiations, and what was the greatest │
│ missed opportunity? │
│ Saeb Erekat: Though I was not the chief │
│ negotiator at that moment, the connection │
│ between [then Prime Minister Yitzhak] │
│ Rabin and President Arafat made │
│ everyone around them, including myself, │
│ feel that peace was possible. There was │
│ significant progress in all tracks until │
│ Rabin's assassination by an Israeli │
│ terrorist -- after he was killed, no Israeli │
│ leader had the vision to understand that │
│ the window of opportunity for a two-state │
│ solution would close as fast as they │
│ continued their colonization policies. │
│ The missed opportunity has definitely │
│ been Israel throwing away the Arab │
│ Peace Initiative, which offers │
│ normalization of relations of 57 countries │
│ with Israel in exchange for Israeli │
│ withdrawal to the 1967 border. They │
│ threw it away by bombing Gaza, by │
│ intensifying collective punishments, and │
│ by increasing settlement construction all │
│ over the occupied West Bank, │
│ particularly in and around Occupied East │
│ Jerusalem. │
│ FP: 2013 is the 20th anniversary of the │
│ Oslo negotiations. What was Oslo's │
│ greatest success, and its greatest failure? │
│ SE: The fact that, two decades after Oslo, │
│ we are still a nation under occupation │
│ shows that Israeli governments did derail │
│ it. The interim accords were not supposed │
│ to last for 20 years but only five. After │
│ that, we were going to enjoy freedom and │
│ sovereignty. │
│ But Israel increased its settlement │
│ expansion. In fact, within 20 years, the │
│ number of settlers almost tripled. The │
│ institution-building efforts led by the │
│ Palestinian government have been │
│ completely undermined by the lack of │
│ freedom. This situation cannot continue. │
│ Oslo succeeded in bringing back 250,000 │
│ Palestinians from the diaspora and │
│ building the capacity for our state. The │
│ international community failed though, │
│ by granting Israel an unprecedented │
│ culture of impunity that allowed them to │
│ use negotiations as a means to continue │
│ rather than stop colonization. │
│ FP: What is the most important │
│ thing Israelis don't understand about │
│ Palestinians? │
│ SE: That we are not going anywhere. As │
│ simple as that. We are not going to │
│ disappear just because their government │
│ builds an annexation wall around us. │
│ They should close their eyes and imagine │
│ their state within 10 years time. What do │
│ they see? If they continue their policies, │
│ they are going to officially adopt the form │
│ of an apartheid regime, which I think is │
│ not what many Israelis want. │
│ FP: What is the most important thing │
│ Palestinians have learned about Israelis? │
│ SE: That Israelis will not take back the │
│ ships that brought them here to leave │
│ somewhere else. We got to understand │
│ that we have to live side by side. The │
│ rules of engagement, though, cannot be │
│ those of apartheid, but those of freedom. │
│ FP: What do you expect from the next │
│ Israeli government on the peace process? │
│ SE: I don't think there is room for │
│ optimism, but our position hasn't │
│ changed. We don't see any other solution │
│ than a two-state solution. Any Israeli │
│ government that recognizes this fact and │
│ respects what previous governments have │
│ agreed upon should become a partner for │
│ peace. │
│ FP: Is Hamas-Fatah unity possible, and │
│ what would the impact be on the future of │
│ Israeli-Palestinian negotiations? │
│ SE: We expect to have progress in the │
│ near future, with Hamas allowing the │
│ Central Elections Commission to register │
│ new voters in Gaza. I believe there is │
│ political agreement -- in fact, there is a │
│ signed agreement. We expect to have │
│ elections as soon as possible, which is the │
│ right way to solve our differences: Let │
│ our people decide, those in Palestine as │
│ well as our people in the Diaspora. │
│ Having said so, Hamas has recognized │
│ the Palestine Liberation Organization as │
│ the sole and legitimate representative of │
│ the Palestinian people, including its │
│ mandate to negotiate a final status │
│ agreement with Israel. Once that is │
│ achieved, we expect to hold a national │
│ referendum. │
│ FP: How would you describe Egypt's │
│ role in the peace process now? What do │
│ you expect from President Barack │
│ Obama's administration with regards to │
│ the peace process? │
│ SE: Egypt has played a central role, and │
│ continues to do so. We trust that Egypt, │
│ under President Mohamed Morsy's │
│ leadership, will continue to play a strong │
│ role because Palestine and Egypt have a │
│ common interest in achieving peace. │
│ President Obama had stated that he has a │
│ personal commitment to bring peace to │
│ the Middle East. We, the Egyptians, and │
│ the rest of the Arab world tell him that we │
│ are ready for peace. We have the Arab │
│ Peace Initiative. This goes in line with │
│ the stated U.S. national interest. │
│ Washington's failure to explicitly say that │
│ Israel is to blame for choosing │
│ settlements over peace has contributed to │
│ Israel's culture of impunity. │
│ FP: Can America be an effective broker │
│ in negotiations? │
│ SE: If the U.S. decides to be an honest │
│ broker, it could not only be effective but │
│ in fact could bring real peace to the │
│ region, a just and lasting one. The U.S. │
│ has a moral obligation toward the │
│ Palestinian people, who have been under │
│ occupation and living in exile for │
│ decades. │
│ FP: Is a two state solution still possible? │
│ SE: Yes, but only if there is a political │
│ will. So far, Israel's will is about │
│ colonization, and the international │
│ community has failed to put an end to │
│ decades of double standards by treating │
│ Israel as a state above the law. We don't │
│ see any other solution than a two-state │
│ solution, though Israel is taking us to a │
│ one-state reality. │

│ peace, a word he never used in his │
│ election campaign. Peres has rightly │
│ earned respect for this from many │
│ quarters, but now, as the coalition is │
│ being formed, it might be a good time to │
│ examine one aspect of Israel's political │
│ culture: the lack of respect for the task of │
│ a parliamentary opposition. Peres is at │
│ least partly to blame for this, as he almost │
│ always preferred to join various │
│ administrations—even as a junior │
│ partner—rather than lead the opposition, │
│ ofen citing "our grave situation" and │
│ "national responsibility." Now is surely │
│ a better time to criticize Peres than in │
│ June, when the world (maybe even │
│ including President Barack Obama) will │
│ be coming here to celebrate his 90th │
│ birthday. Then, surely, everyone will be │
│ paying deserved tribute to the wisdom of │
│ this elder statesman and prophet of peace, │
│ and it would be a shame to spoil the │
│ party. So let's clear the air right now, │
│ well before the festivities. Before we get │
│ to the matter of coalition politics, which │
│ is very much on our minds right now as │
│ Netanyahu struggles to put together a │
│ government, let us consider the other │
│ negative part of the Peres legacy: his stint │
│ as Defense Minister under Prime Minister │
│ Yitzhak Rabin from 1974 to 1977. Today │
│ Peres is widely respected as the architect │
│ of the Oslo Accord of 1993, achieved │
│ while he was Foreign Minister. It was the │
│ first political move toward a settlement │
│ between Israel and the Palestinians, and │
│ Peres deserves huge credit for securing │
│ the agreement. However, two decades │
│ earlier, as Defense Minister, he supported │
│ the Jewish settlement project in the │
│ newly-conquered Palestinian territories, │
│ both overtly and covertly. Not for │
│ nothing did Rabin label Peres in his │
│ memoirs as "an indefatigable intriguer." │
│ In 1975, while Rabin was doing his │
│ utmost to prevent the settlement of Elon │
│ Moreh, near Nablus, Peres continuously │
│ sabotaged his efforts. After no less than │
│ eight settlement attempts, which were │
│ ruled illegal by Israel's Supreme Court, a │
│ "compromise" was reached, and Elon │
│ Moreh was established five kilometers to │
│ the east of the original site. Moreover, │
│ during the furor over Elon Moreh, │
│ Defense Minister Peres quietly facilitated │
│ the creation of Ofra, near Ramallah. │
│ These two settlements, which have │
│ become flagships of the settlement │
│ movement, were the start of Jewish │
│ colonization in Samaria, the northern part │
│ of the West Bank. The previous year, as │
│ a young reporter, I interviewed Peres, │
│ after he and his political ally Moshe │
│ Dayan had refused "on principle" to join │
│ the government of Golda Meir. "If a │
│ single child can learn that politics is not │
│ just intrigues," Peres told me, "I will be │
│ satisfied that we have done our bit." Just │
│ one week later, when he and Dayan had │
│ reversed their position for no discernable │
│ reason, and were seated snugly around │
│ the cabinet table, I asked Peres what he │
│ had to say to the "single child." His aides │
│ sniggered, but Peres didn't bat an eyelid: │
│ "Just what my mentor, David Ben-Gurion │
│ (Israel's first Prime Minister) told me: │
│ when the security of Israel is laid on one │
│ side of the scales, and everything else on │
│ the other side, security tips the │
│ balance." Peres subsequently used that │
│ self-same argument to join every │
│ government that would have him. The │
│ late Menachem Begin lost nine elections │
│ before finally becoming Israel's Prime │
│ Minister in 1977. He served as a │
│ pugnacious and dedicated leader of the │
│ opposition. Peres almost never headed │
│ the opposition, always preferring a │
│ ministerial appointment, once even │
│ designing a grotesque system of │
│ "rotation" with Yitzhak Shamir, so that │
│ he could be in the government. He │
│ proposed the ideal of "national unity," │
│ and greatly devalued the democratic │
│ concept of parliamentary opposition. │
│ Former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni │
│ ruined her reputation when she refused to │
│ join Netanyahu in his last government. │
│ While it is quite true that Livni was an │
│ ineffective opposition leader, it is the │
│ very fact of her refusal to join the │
│ administration and "influence it from │
│ within" that has provoked most of the │
│ criticism by Israeli political │
│ commentators. Similar criticism is │
│ currently being leveled at Labor Party │
│ leader Shelly Yachimovich for stating │
│ clearly that she would not join │
│ Netanyahu's next government, but would │
│ serve as leader of the opposition. There │
│ are certainly many reasons to criticize │
│ Yachimovich, but not her eminently │
│ democratic decision to lead the │
│ parliamentary opposition. Very few of │
│ our political commentators have ever │
│ expressed respect or even understanding │
│ for the concept of opposition. The most │
│ popular political idea in Israel today is │
│ national unity—better still, a National │
│ Unity Government: "We should all rally │
│ round the flag and support our │
│ government in these critical times." This │
│ position, widely espoused, echoes what │
│ Peres has said repeatedly over the years. │
│ So, although the Peres vision of peace is │
│ a positive legacy, he has also taught us │
│ less helpful lessons. The settlements are a │
│ supremely negative inheritance, but I │
│ would argue that the anti-democratic │
│ rejection of the concept of a │
│ parliamentary opposition is an even more │
│ harmful bequest handed down to us by │
│ President Shimon Peres. │

│ India vs. China vs. Egypt │
│ Thomas L. Friedman │
│ February 5, 2013 -- New Delhi -- It's │
│ hard to escape a visit to India without │
│ someone asking you to compare it to │
│ China. This visit was no exception, but I │
│ think it's more revealing to widen the │
│ aperture and compare India, China and │
│ Egypt. India has a weak central │
│ government but a really strong civil │
│ society, bubbling with elections and │
│ associations at every level. China has a │
│ muscular central government but a weak │
│ civil society, yet one that is clearly │
│ straining to express itself more. Egypt, │
│ alas, has a weak government and a very │
│ weak civil society, one that was │
│ suppressed for 50 years, denied real │
│ elections and, therefore, is easy prey to │
│ have its revolution diverted by the one │
│ group that could organize, the Muslim │
│ Brotherhood, in the one free space, the │
│ mosque. But there is one thing all three │
│ have in common: gigantic youth bulges │
│ under the age of 30, increasingly │
│ connected by technology but very │
│ unevenly educated. │
│ My view: Of these three, the one that will │
│ thrive the most in the 21st century will be │
│ the one that is most successful at │
│ converting its youth bulge into a │
│ "demographic dividend" that keeps │
│ paying off every decade, as opposed to a │
│ "demographic bomb" that keeps going │
│ off every decade. That will be the society │
│ that provides more of its youth with the │
│ education, jobs and voice they seek to │
│ realize their full potential. │
│ This race is about "who can enable and │
│ inspire more of its youth to help build │
│ broad societal prosperity," argues Dov │
│ Seidman, the author of "How" and │
│ C.E.O. of LRN, which has an operating │
│ center in India. "And that's all about │
│ leaders, parents and teachers creating │
│ environments where young people can be │
│ on a quest, not just for a job, but for a │
│ career — for a better life that doesn't just │
│ surpass but far surpasses their parents." │
│ Countries that fail to do that will have a │
│ youth bulge that is not only unemployed, │
│ but unemployable, he argued. "They will │
│ be disconnected in a connected world, │
│ despairing as they watch others build and │
│ realize their potential and curiosity." │
│ If your country has either a strong │
│ government or a strong civil society, it │
│ has the ability to rise to this challenge. If │
│ it has neither, it will have real problems, │
│ which is why Egypt is struggling. China │
│ leads in providing its youth bulge with │
│ education, infrastructure and jobs, but │
│ lags in unleashing freedom and curiosity. │
│ India is the most intriguing case — if it │
│ can get its governance and corruption │
│ under control. The quest for upward │
│ mobility here, especially among women │
│ and girls, is palpable. I took part in the │
│ graduation ceremony for The Energy and │
│ Resources Institute last week. Of 12 │
│ awards for the top students, 11 went to │
│ women. │
│ "India today has 560 million young │
│ people under the age of 25 and 225 │
│ million between the ages of 10 and 19," │
│ explained Shashi Tharoor, India's │
│ minister of state for human resource │
│ development. "So for the next 40 years │
│ we should have a youthful working-age │
│ population" at a time when China and the │
│ broad industrialized world is aging. │
│ According to Tharoor, the average age in │
│ China today is around 38, whereas in │
│ India it's around 28. In 20 years, that gap │
│ will be much larger. So this could be a │
│ huge demographic dividend — "provided │
│ that we can educate our youth — offering │
│ vocational training to some and │
│ university to others to equip them to take │
│ advantage of what the 21st-century global │
│ economy offers," said Tharoor. "If we get │
│ it right, India becomes the workhorse of │
│ the world. If we get it wrong, there is │
│ nothing worse than unemployable, │
│ frustrated" youth. │
│ Indeed, some of India's disaffected youth │
│ are turning to Maoism in rural areas. "We │
│ have Maoists among our tribal │
│ populations, who have not benefited from │
│ the opportunities of modern India," │
│ Tharoor said. There have been violent │
│ Maoist incidents in 165 of India's 625 │
│ districts in recent years, as Maoists tap │
│ into all those left out of the "Indian │
│ dream." So there is now a huge push here │
│ to lure poor kids into school. India runs │
│ the world's biggest midday lunch │
│ program, serving 250 million free school │
│ lunches each day. It's also doubled its │
│ number of Indian Institutes of │
│ Technology, from eight to 16, and is │
│ planning 14 new universities for │
│ innovation and research. │
│ But this will all be for naught without │
│ better governance, argues Gurcharan Das, │
│ the former C.E.O. of Procter & Gamble │
│ India, whose latest book is "India Grows │
│ at Night: A Liberal Case for a Strong │
│ State." "The aspirational India has no one │
│ to vote for, because no one is talking the │
│ language of public goods. Why should it │
│ take us 15 years to get justice in the │
│ courts or 12 years to build a road? The │
│ gap between [youth] aspirations and │
│ government performance is huge. My │
│ thesis is that India has risen despite the │
│ state. It is a story of public failure and │
│ private success." │
│ That is what Das means by India grows at │
│ night, when government sleeps. "But │
│ India must learn to grow during the day," │
│ he said. "If India fixes its governance │
│ before China fixes its politics that is who │
│ will win. ... You need a strong state and a │
│ strong society, so the society can hold the │
│ state accountable. India will only get a │
│ strong state when the best of society join │
│ the government, and China will only get │
│ a strong society when the best Mandarins │
│ go into the private sector." │

│ Foreign Policy │
│ Don't be too sure there │
│ won't be another U.S. │
│ war in the Middle East │
│ Richard L. Russell │
│ February 5, 2013 -- Shortly before he left │
│ office in Feb. 2011, Defense Secretary │
│ Robert Gates told West Point cadets that │
│ "in my opinion, any future defense │
│ secretary who advised the president to │
│ again send a big American land army into │
│ Asia or into the Middle East or Africa │
│ should 'have his head examined,' as │
│ General MacArthur so delicately put it." │
│ The remark no doubt reflected Sec. │
│ Gates's fatigue and frustration from the │
│ enormous intellectual and emotional │
│ burdens associated with overseeing the │
│ wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. │
│ One suspects, however, that in a more │
│ reflective moment, Gates would have │
│ acknowledged that "never say never" is a │
│ wise rule of thumb in planning for │
│ military contingencies, especially in the │
│ region that makes up Central Command's │
│ area-of-responsibility. Few, for example, │
│ predicted the 1979 Soviet invasion of │
│ Afghanistan. Gates himself -- who was a │
│ senior CIA official during the covert war │
│ supporting the Afghan resistance -- surely │
│ did not anticipate then that the United │
│ States would have to return to │
│ Afghanistan two decades later to oust a │
│ Taliban regime that was harboring │
│ terrorists. Before 1990, moreover, no one │
│ predicted that Iraq, having just ended a │
│ bitter eight-year war with Iran, would │
│ swing its battered forces south to invade │
│ Kuwait. │
│ So if it's conventional wisdom that the │
│ United States will not, or should not, │
│ intervene militarily in the Middle East or │
│ South Asia after it draws down forces in │
│ Iraq and Afghanistan, it's also likely dead │
│ wrong. What is true, however, is that │
│ political and military trajectories in the │
│ Middle East and South Asia are likely to │
│ increasingly challenge U.S. contingency │
│ access in the coming decade. The ability │
│ for the United States to surge large-scale │
│ forces into the region, as it did in the │
│ 1990 and 2003 wars against Iraq, will │
│ grow increasingly circumscribed. The │
│ United States will have to adapt to this │
│ new strategic landscape by developing │
│ more nimble, highly-mobile, stealthy, and │
│ networked forces, and by abandoning the │
│ traditional practice of slowly and steadily │
│ building up conventional forces at │
│ regional logistic hubs prior to launching │
│ war. │
│ * * * │
│ Perhaps the most significant factor that │
│ portends against further intervention in │
│ the Middle East and South Asia is │
│ increased political resistance -- and │
│ outright opposition -- from the countries │
│ in the region. That resistance is likely to │
│ come from the new regimes emerging │
│ from the Arab uprisings, as well as a │
│ number of Gulf monarchies. │
│ Indeed, the political trends in the region │
│ are unlikely to conform to the rosy │
│ predictions of democratic peace theorists, │
│ whose musings have implicitly informed │
│ the security policies of both Republican │
│ and Democratic administrations for │
│ decades. Old authoritarian regimes seem │
│ to be passing the way of the dodo bird, │
│ but the new regimes taking shape are │
│ heavily influenced by militant Islamic │
│ ideology that will make them less likely │
│ to engage in security or military │
│ cooperation with the United States. │
│ Democracy optimists argue that these │
│ ideological regimes, once entrenched in │
│ power, will have to moderate their zeal in │
│ order to govern. Pragmatism will │
│ ultimately trump ideology. That line of │
│ reasoning, however, is based on the │
│ assumption that the policy decisions of │
│ such regimes can be explained by rational │
│ choice economic theory. In other words, │
│ if they want to attract international capital │
│ and participate in the world economy, │
│ they are going to have to break with their │
│ ideological affinities. But that reasoning │
│ ignores a hard fact of international │
│ politics: that time and again, political and │
│ ideological prerogatives trump economic │
│ rationality. It made little economic sense, │
│ for example, for Pakistan to pursue a │
│ nuclear weapons program in the 1970s, │
│ just as it makes little economic sense for │
│ Iran to do so today. Clearly, both │
│ Pakistan and Iran made major policy │
│ decisions based on political-military │
│ priorities rather than economic │
│ calculations. │
│ As for the surviving monarchies in the │
│ Middle East, they too will likely be less │
│ accommodating to American military │
│ forces than they have been in the past. To │
│ be sure, much of the Arab support for │
│ past American military operations -- like │
│ both Iraq wars -- was hidden from the │
│ public eye. Arab states often loudly and │
│ publicly denounced "unilateral │
│ American" military action in the region at │
│ the same time as they supported it in │
│ backroom dealings, quietly authorizing │
│ facilities support and air, land, and sea │
│ access. │
│ But if Arab Gulf states were quietly │
│ supportive in the past, their opposition to │
│ American military force is likely to grow │
│ in the future. They read the aftermath of │
│ the Arab uprisings much differently than │
│ did American and European │
│ policymakers. The Gulf monarchies were │
│ shocked that the United States │
│ "abandoned" Egyptian President Hosni │
│ Mubarak in his time of need in early │
│ 2011. Their leaders expected the United │
│ States to push for Mubarak and the │
│ Egyptian military to crack down on │
│ public protests in Cairo. After all, │
│ American policymakers during the Carter │
│ administration had at least given this │
│ policy option consideration during the │
│ Iranian revolution in 1979. │
│ Already, several Gulf states have begun │
│ to translate their displeasure into policy │
│ independence from Washington. In 2011, │
│ for example, a coalition of Gulf states led │
│ by Saudi Arabia intervened in Bahrain to │
│ quell domestic unrest in the island │
│ country. They did so under the banner of │
│ the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), │
│ which for years had been a feckless │
│ military force. Largely unnoticed in │
│ Western commentary was that the GCC, │
│ for the first time in its history, mounted a │
│ relatively effective military intervention. │
│ Bahrain today is for all intents and │
│ purposes a province of Saudi Arabia, │
│ even if it is not polite to say so in │
│ diplomatic circles. Since the Iranian │
│ revolution, Bahrain -- like the United │
│ Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar │
│ -- has pursued close ties with the United │
│ States, in significant measure to │
│ counterbalance Iran and Saudi Arabia. │
│ With Washington at their back, they were │
│ able to stake out security policies that │
│ were at least nominally independent from │
│ Saudi Arabia. When Saudi Arabia wanted │
│ American forces removed from the │
│ kingdom, for example, Qatar was eager │
│ to compensate by hosting a more robust │
│ American command presence in the │
│ region. │
│ The Arab uprisings and subsequent GCC │
│ intervention in Bahrain have turned the │
│ tables, making Saudi security backing a │
│ necessity for the smaller Gulf │
│ monarchies. From their perspective, │
│ American forces are clearly more capable │
│ than Saudi forces, but given the │
│ alignment of their interests, Riyadh is a │
│ more reliable security partner. Gulf │
│ leaders and military commanders in the │
│ coming decade will be focused on how to │
│ avoid following in Mubarak's footsteps. │
│ Part of minimizing that risk will involve │
│ decreasing security dependency on the │
│ United States. Gulf leaders have to worry │
│ that if push comes to shove, the │
│ Americans will throw them under a bus │
│ just like they did to Mubarak. │
│ * * * │
│ If the political dynamics in the Middle │
│ East and South Asia do not favor further │
│ American military intervention in the │
│ future, neither do the emerging military │
│ trends. The proliferation of supersonic │
│ cruise missiles and mines in the region │
│ will make for nasty forced entries into │
│ narrow maritime confines like the Suez │
│ Canal, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf │
│ But the likely proliferation of nuclear │
│ weapons -- and ballistic missile delivery │
│ systems -- will pose even more │
│ formidable challenges to conventional │
│ military surges in the region. In the │
│ future, the United States will not be able │
│ to take for granted unchallenged surges │
│ of naval, air, and ground forces into │
│ regional theaters via logistics hubs. These │
│ hubs -- like the American naval presence │
│ in Bahrain -- are large, readily │
│ identifiable, and will be increasingly │
│ vulnerable to future targeting by nuclear │
│ weaponry. │
│ Iran's nuclear weapons, assuming it gets │
│ them, will pose a direct threat to │
│ American military surge capabilities. │
│ Although American policymakers and │
│ military commanders might feel │
│ confident that they could surge forces │
│ into the Gulf despite Iranian nuclear │
│ threats because of the American nuclear │
│ deterrent, Gulf security partners might be │
│ more nervous and less willing to │
│ cooperate. As a result, they might not │
│ grant access to U.S. air, naval, and │
│ ground forces out of fear of angering │
│ Iran. │
│ American observers who doubt that Gulf │
│ states would make such calculations │
│ should recall how Kuwait responded in │
│ the lead-up to Iraq's invasion in 1990. │
│ When faced with a build-up of Iraqi │
│ forces along its border, Kuwait decided │
│ not to mobilize its military out of fear │
│ that the move would provoke Saddam │
│ Hussein. The incentives for Gulf states to │
│ make similar strategic calculations in the │
│ future will be greater when Iran has an │
│ inventory of nuclear weapons to match its │
│ growing ballistic missile capabilities. │
│ The Gulf states, moreover, will likely │
│ reason that the U.S. capability to threaten │
│ or use force against a nuclear Iran will be │
│ significantly diminished. Even without │
│ nuclear weapons, Gulf states have seen, │
│ in their view, a long history of American │
│ reluctance to threaten or use force against │
│ Iran. For example, the United States took │
│ no direct military action against Iran after │
│ it aided and abetted Hezbollah bombings │
│ against Americans in Lebanon in the │
│ 1980s, after Iran supported the bombing │
│ of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in │
│ 1996, or even after Iran supported the │
│ deadly campaign of improvised explosive │
│ devices (IEDs) against U.S. troops in │
│ Iraq. Gulf states will no doubt judge that │
│ if the United States was unable and │
│ unwilling to attack Tehran under these │
│ circumstances, then it is certainly not │
│ going to attack Iran in the future, when it │
│ will be able to retaliate with nuclear │
│ weapons. │
│ American policymakers may counter that │
│ Iran would never be foolish enough to │
│ threaten or use nuclear weapons against │
│ the United States, given its robust nuclear │
│ deterrence posture. But the threat or use │
│ of nuclear weapons might not look so │
│ foolish from Iran's perspective. One of │
│ the great strategic lessons drawn from the │
│ long history of conflict in the Middle East │
│ is this: Do not go to war without nuclear │
│ weapons, as Saddam Hussein did when │
│ he invaded Kuwait. The corollary is: Do │
│ not allow the United States to │
│ methodically build-up forces in the Gulf │
│ prior to invading, as Saddam did both in │
│ the run-up to the 1991 re-conquest of │
│ Kuwait and in 2003, before the drive to │
│ topple the regime in Baghdad. │
│ Drawing upon these lessons, Iran will │
│ likely do everything in its power to deny │
│ the United States the ability to surge │
│ conventional forces into the region -- and │
│ that might include threatening to target │
│ U.S. forces with nuclear weapons. Iran │
│ might accept the risk that preemptive use │
│ of nuclear weapons could bring on │
│ American nuclear retaliation, because │
│ failure to do so would mean certain │
│ destruction for the regime. The United │
│ States would be able to build-up │
│ conventional forces in the region and oust │
│ Iran's leaders just as it did in Baghdad. │
│ This line of strategic reasoning runs │
│ counter to conventional wisdom in the │
│ West, but we actually know little or │
│ nothing about what Iranian decision- │
│ makers think about nuclear weapons or │
│ deterrence theory. Since the Iranian │
│ revolution in 1979, opportunities for the │
│ exchange of professional views between │
│ Western and Iranian scholars, │
│ policymakers, and military leaders on │
│ these critically important issues have │
│ been extremely limited. Therefore, it's not │
│ unreasonable to assume that the Iranians, │
│ like American policymakers in the early │
│ stages of developing their nuclear triad │
│ doctrine, will think of nuclear weapons as │
│ merely "big artillery." Unfortunately, the │
│ United States and its security partners │
│ lack formal and informal exchanges with │
│ the Iranians akin to the Cold War │
│ discussions and arms control negotiations │
│ between the Americans and Soviets, │
│ which allowed both parties to develop │
│ mutual understandings of the other's │
│ perception of nuclear weapons. These │
│ understandings were essential for crisis │
│ management in the Cold War strategic │
│ relationship after the Cuban missile │
│ crisis. │
│ Meanwhile, the Gulf states, led by Saudi │
│ Arabia, are likely to look for their own │
│ nuclear deterrents. Much like France │
│ wanted its own nuclear force de frappe │
│ during the Cold War, the Gulf states will │
│ want their own nuclear weapons to deter │
│ Iran. Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf │
│ states will worry that the United States │
│ would be deterred from coming to their │
│ defense in future regional crises by Iran's │
│ nuclear weapons. │
│ Saudi Arabia and other Arab states are │
│ likely to see nuclear weapons as a quick │
│ fix for all of their security woes. │
│ Although they have been on a shopping │
│ spree in the past decade, buying │
│ expensive and sophisticated Western │
│ military technology, they have had a │
│ tough time absorbing the new technology │
│ and fully utilizing and integrating │
│ weapons systems. To be sure, in a rough │
│ net assessment, Saudi Arabia and its │
│ allies in the Gulf have significantly │
│ greater conventional capabilities than │
│ Iran. But if Iran goes nuclear, they will │
│ want to follow suit. │
│ * * * │
│ Americans may be weary of conflict in │
│ the Middle East and South Asia, but │
│ strategic prudence demands that we │
│ contemplate future military interventions │
│ in the Central Command theater. A scan │
│ of the horizon reveals that both political │
│ and military trends in the region pose │
│ formidable obstacles to conventional │
│ force surges into the region. │
│ But there is another wrinkle in this story │
│ that U.S. policymakers must contend with │
│ as they plan for the future. As Gulf │
│ monarchies seek to reduce their │
│ dependence on American military power, │
│ they will increasingly look to China for │
│ security assurances. China does not have │
│ a political agenda devoted to promoting │
│ democratization, and it maintains │
│ political and diplomatic ties with both │
│ Arab states and Iran. China's military │
│ activity in the region is modest but │
│ increasing, as evidenced by its recent │
│ peacekeeping dispatches to the region │
│ and naval port visits in the Gulf Beijing │
│ is likely to send more naval forces to the │
│ Gulf to increase its presence there and │
│ enhance its ability to protect the sea lanes │
│ which bring oil to China's thirsty │
│ economy. China is keenly aware that the │
│ United States has naval supremacy in the │
│ Gulf, but will be working to erode that │
│ strategic edge in the future. │
│ Faced with these realities, there is a need │
│ for new thinking and innovative │
│ conceptualizations of surges into │
│ Centcom's area of responsibility. Theater │
│ campaign planners will have to think │
│ about contingencies in which the United │
│ States cannot slowly and methodically │
│ build up forces in the region and then │
│ kick off campaigns after most troops, │
│ arms, and equipment are in place. Future │
│ U.S. force build-ups in the region will be │
│ far too vulnerable to preemptive nuclear │
│ strikes. As a result, planners will have to │
│ devise campaign plans in which the │
│ insertion of U.S. military forces begins │
│ with an immediate rolling and flowing │
│ start. The United States will have to work │
│ from smaller troop footprints and be │
│ prepared to start fighting even as follow- │
│ on-forces are on the way. Ideally, these │
│ forces would flow from multiple staging │
│ positions to reduce vulnerability to │
│ nuclear attack. The politics of the region, │
│ however, will work against securing a │
│ multitude of staging areas from which to │
│ deploy. │
│ The region under the purview of │
│ Centcom has always been riddled with │
│ political violence that has posed │
│ formidable challenges to military │
│ operations. But in plotting a course over │
│ the horizon, the political and military │
│ obstacles for American military surges │
│ into the region are poised to grow even │
│ larger. As a result, theater contingency │
│ planners will have fewer good options for │
│ projecting American military power into │
│ the region -- and they'll have to do more │
│ with the bad and the ugly. │

│ February 6, 2013 -- Why did it take so │
│ long to secure a date for talks between │
│ Iran and the P5+1? │
│ After all, in the weeks before the │
│ presidential election in November, it was │
│ reported that the United States and Iran │
│ had already tactically agreed to convene │
│ private, one-on-one talks. And since then │
│ the United States, the European powers, │
│ Russia, and China, all sought to arrange │
│ another round of negotiations, first in │
│ December and then in January. It now │
│ appears that Iran, which is about to enter │
│ its presidential election season, has │
│ finally agreed to what will be the first │
│ round of negotiations with the P5+1 since │
│ the last round in Moscow seven months │
│ ago. On Tuesday, Tehran announced that │
│ it will join talks on February 26 in │
│ Kazakhstan. │
│ The negotiations will be a serious test for │
│ the Obama administration and for John │
│ Kerry, the new secretary of state. │
│ Previous rounds have all faltered because │
│ neither side was willing to make │
│ concessions to the other, and so far there │
│ is little sign that the United States and the │
│ P5+1 have improved their offer to Iran │
│ very much. As the talks were announced, │
│ the Washington Post reported: "The P5+1 │
│ powers have made only mild revisions to │
│ a proposal that Iran flatly rejected last │
│ June." Until now, the United States has │
│ been unwilling to acknowledge Iran's │
│ right to enrich uranium on its own soil │
│ and to suggest that some economic │
│ sanctions might be lifted as part of a deal, │
│ and Iran has refused to agree even to a │
│ limited deal called "stop, ship, and shut" │
│ — involving the suspension of its │
│ enrichment to 20 percent purity, shipping │
│ its existing stockpiles of 20% uranium to │
│ a third country for processing, and │
│ shutting down its underground facility at │
│ Fordo, near Qom — without an agreement │
│ to lift sanctions. │
│ After the reelection of Barack Obama in │
│ November, there were great hopes that │
│ the president would have greater political │
│ freedom of offer concessions to Iran. Yet, │
│ publicly at least, the White House isn't │
│ signaling that it is ready to make a more │
│ generous offer to Iran, and in fact Obama │
│ in January signed into law yet another │
│ round of draconian economic sanctions. │
│ Perhaps as a result, Iran allegedly │
│ dragged its feet on setting a date for talks. │
│ Despite prodding from the P5+1 — │
│ including urgent efforts by Russia — in │
│ January Iran reportedly went silent about │
│ talks. Russia, increasingly frustrated by │
│ the inability of Tehran and the West to │
│ negotiate seriously, vented its frustration. │
│ "Some of our partners in the six powers │
│ and the Iranian side cannot come to an │
│ agreement about where to meet," Russian │
│ Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a │
│ news conference. "We are ready to meet │
│ at any location as soon as possible. We │
│ believe the essence of our talks is far │
│ more important (than the site), and we │
│ hope that common sense will prevail and │
│ we will stop behaving like little │
│ children." │
│ According to analysts in Washington, │
│ reinforced by comments from Iran itself, │
│ a big reason for Tehran's recalcitrance is │
│ that Iran wants to prove to the United │
│ States that its vaunted sanctions regime │
│ will not force Iran to make unilateral │
│ concessions at the bargaining table. In │
│ addition, Iran is concerned that it won't │
│ get much in return in talks with the West, │
│ and that it will be asked to make │
│ unilateral concessions on uranium │
│ enrichment without getting sanctions │
│ relief in return. Combined with Iranian │
│ internal divisions, as its own presidential │
│ election season gets underway, that could │
│ mean that for the next six months or so │
│ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei simply won't be │
│ ready to talk seriously, despite scheduling │
│ the Kazakhstan round. │
│ Others suspect that Iran is waiting to see │
│ how President Obama's new national │
│ security team — with Kerry as secretary of │
│ state, Chuck Hagel as secretary of │
│ defense, and John Brennan at the Central │
│ Intelligence Agency — will shape │
│ Obama's stance at any talks. │
│ In Washington, some would argue there's │
│ a growing consensus, at the level of think │
│ tanks, Iran experts, and other analysts, │
│ that a preliminary, first-round deal, │
│ including "shop, ship, and shut," might │
│ work, if in response the P5+1 could lift │
│ some of the economic sanctions on Iran │
│ and agree to limited Iranian enrichment. │
│ Perhaps the best-case scenario is the │
│ possibility that there are ongoing, secret │
│ and back-channel talks between │
│ Washington and Tehran. Nothing along │
│ those lines has leaked and there is no │
│ indication of this, yet. But in advance of │
│ the first round of Iran-P5+1 talks in │
│ Vienna in 2009, the United States and │
│ Iran did indeed engage in quiet, behind- │
│ the-scenes diplomacy. │
│ In fact, of course, any sanctions relief for │
│ Iran will occur slowly and step-by-step, │
│ not all at once, in parallel with steps │
│ taken by Iran and openness to more │
│ intrusive inspections and oversight by the │
│ IAEA. │
│ But it's certainly not helpful that in early │
│ January yet another round of unilateral │
│ sanctions was passed by Congress and │
│ signed into law by President Obama. The │
│ complex set of new measures targets key │
│ industrial sectors, including shipping and │
│ imports of products such as aluminum, │
│ steel and coal, and seeks to block Iran │
│ from using barter commodities such as │
│ oil and gold to pay for imports. The │
│ Washington Post paraphrased U.S. │
│ officials as saying that, "the new policies │
│ are closer to a true trade embargo, │
│ designed to systematically attack and │
│ undercut Iran's major financial pillars │
│ and threaten the country with economic │
│ collapse." Obama signed the National │
│ Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that │
│ contained the sanctions provisions │
│ despite having hinted earlier that he │
│ might veto the NDAA over a host of │
│ measures contained in the bill. │
│ If the Obama administration believes that │
│ ever-tougher sanctions will cause Iran to │
│ cave in at the talks, it's likely that they │
│ are badly misreading Iranian politics. │
│ For many observers, however, and for │
│ Iran, too, the nomination of Hagel for │
│ secretary of defense may be a sign that │
│ the White House is beginning to realize │
│ that sanctions, and threats of military │
│ action, won't force Iran's hand. │
│ As has been widely reported, hawks, │
│ neoconservatives, and members of the │
│ pro-Israel lobby in Washington have │
│ slammed Hagel for his past comments │
│ and positions on Iran. In conjunction with │
│ Israel-friendly members of Congress, │
│ they've warned Obama to rein Hagel in │
│ so as not to send a dovish signal to │
│ Tehran. Robert Satloff, executive │
│ direction of the Washington Institute for │
│ Near East Policy (WINEP), a pro-Israel │
│ think tank, warned bluntly that the White │
│ House should act quickly to make sure │
│ that Hagel backs away from his previous │
│ views on Iran and at least toes the │
│ administration's tougher line. "If the │
│ White House does not take steps soon to │
│ correct that impression, the chances for a │
│ negotiated resolution of the Iran nuclear │
│ crisis will fall nearly to zero and the │
│ likelihood of Israeli military action will │
│ rise dramatically," he wrote. │
│ Indeed, within days of his nomination as │
│ secretary of defense, Hagel was already │
│ backing away from his earlier views, │
│ meeting with senior Pentagon officials │
│ and influential senators who'll vote on │
│ his confirmation to clarify his views on │
│ Iran, asserting that he supports broad │
│ international sanctions against Iran and │
│ that he believes that the military option │
│ ought to be "on the table." Several │
│ Democratic senators who met with Hagel │
│ announced with satisfaction that the │
│ former senator from Nebraska had │
│ sufficiently backtracked or "clarified" his │
│ views on Iran. Consequently, they │
│ announced that he had earned their │
│ support — and their vote. │
│ Then, during his confirmation hearings │
│ on January 31, Hagel — under hostile │
│ questioning from several Republican │
│ senators — backed away from earlier-held │
│ positions on Iran, including the role of │
│ sanctions. And, though he previously │
│ been a sharp critic of a military attack on │
│ Iran, in his opening statement Hagel said: │
│ "I am fully committed to the President's │
│ goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a │
│ nuclear weapon, and—as I've said in the │
│ past—all options must be on the table to │
│ achieve that goal. My policy is one of │
│ prevention, and not one of containment— │
│ and the President has made clear that is │
│ the policy of our government. As │
│ Secretary of Defense, I will make sure │
│ the Department is prepared for any │
│ contingency." │
│ Satloff's views were echoed by another │
│ tough-talking official at WINEP, former │
│ Ambassador Dennis Ross, a pro-Israel │
│ hawk who served as Obama's top adviser │
│ on Iran during much of the president's │
│ first term. "I think 2013 is going to be │
│ decisive," Ross told the Los Angeles │
│ Times, expressing concern about Hagel's │
│ previous comments. "Time really is │
│ running out. For diplomacy to have a │
│ chance of success, the Iranians need to │
│ understand that if diplomacy fails, force │
│ is going to be the result. We still have a │
│ challenge to convince the Iranians that │
│ we're quite serious about the use of │
│ force," he said. "In the first term, the │
│ administration didn't always speak with │
│ one voice on this issue. So what Hagel │
│ says can make a difference." │
│ Despite his poorly receieved performance │
│ at his confirmation hearings, it's widely │
│ believed in Washington that Hagel will │
│ be confirmed as secretary of defense and │
│ that his private advice to Obama will │
│ more closely hew to his long-held beliefs │
│ about the futility of sanctions and the │
│ grave downside to a military strike. Partly │
│ for that reason, it remains very unlikely │
│ that the Obama administration will resort │
│ to force to resolve the dispute with Iran. │
│ In fact, in remarks that Iranian officials │
│ cited as promising, Vice President Joe │
│ Biden expressed the administration's │
│ willingness to hold bilateral talks with the │
│ Iranians. In response to a question at the │
│ Munich Security Conference Biden said, │
│ "We have made it clear at the outset │
│ that...we would be prepared to meet │
│ bilaterally with the Iranian leadership" │
│ when Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah │
│ Ali Khamenei is serious about │
│ negotiations. Iran's Foreign Minister, Ali │
│ Akbar Salehi responded favorably and │
│ said, "I am optimistic, I feel this new │
│ administration is really seeking this time │
│ to at least divert from its previous │
│ traditional approach vis-a-vis my │
│ country." │
│ But if Washington remains committed to │
│ ever-tougher sanctions — and without │
│ promising Iran that sanctions will be │
│ lifted as part of a deal — then negotiations │
│ are unlikely to succeed. Vali Nasr, │
│ another former Obama administration │
│ official with expertise on Iran, suggested │
│ recently that there's not much more the │
│ world can do to sanction Iran, and that │
│ such penalties could drive Tehran to take │
│ radical action. The regime of sanctions │
│ against Iran over its nuclear activity │
│ "really has reached its end," Nasr, dean of │
│ the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced │
│ International Studies at Johns Hopkins │
│ University, said during the World │
│ Economic Forum in Davos. And he │
│ warned that unless there is a diplomatic │
│ breakthrough — or, alternatively, an │
│ attack on Iran — "you really are looking │
│ at a scenario where Iran is going to rush │
│ very quickly towards nuclear power, │
│ because they also think, like North │
│ Korea, that (then) you have much more │
│ leverage to get rid of these sanctions." │

│ A New U.S. International │
│ Economic Strategy │
│ Robert B. Zoellick │
│ February 5, 2013 -- Five years into the │
│ global economic storm, America's │
│ traditional allies, theEuropean Union and │
│ Japan, are struggling. Developing │
│ economies are reshaping the global │
│ dynamic but also face big challenges. The │
│ United States is the one country that │
│ could lead the modernization of the │
│ international system so as to supply │
│ security, economic opportunity, and │
│ prospects for liberty. America's own │
│ strategy for economic revival cannot be │
│ limited to the nation's borders. And its │
│ future foreign policy—its projection of │
│ power and principle—must be grounded │
│ in the emerging economic order. │
│ President Obama has said he admires │
│ Ronald Reagan's transformative thinking. │
│ If so, he should ask for an assessment of │
│ Reagan's second-term innovations on │
│ currency and monetary affairs, trade, debt │
│ and development. Reagan advanced a │
│ new international system to match the │
│ revival of capitalism after the oil shocks │
│ and stagflation of the 1970s. America's │
│ success in the 1980s contributed both to │
│ the end of the Cold War, by persuading │
│ the Soviet Union it could not keep up, │
│ and to two decades of exceptional global │
│ growth. │
│ The new U.S. international economic │
│ strategy should have five parts. First, this │
│ country should strengthen its continental │
│ base by building on the North American │
│ Free Trade Agreement with Canada and │
│ Mexico. Together, the three partners │
│ could boost energy security, improve │
│ productivity, and give North Americans │
│ an edge in manufacturing and other │
│ industries that are already experiencing │
│ rising wages in East Asia. A politically │
│ acceptable immigration policy, and a │
│ push for educational innovation using │
│ new technologies and competition, could │
│ lead to a more prosperous, populous, │
│ integrated and democratic future for the │
│ hemisphere. │
│ Second, the extraordinary monetary │
│ policies of late, led by the Federal │
│ Reserve's continued near-zero interest- │
│ rate policy, are taking us into uncharted │
│ territory. Central banks have tried most │
│ every tool to stimulate growth; if Japan is │
│ any warning, the next tactic is │
│ competitive devaluation, which risks a │
│ new protectionism. "Currency │
│ manipulation" could become a danger │
│ that reaches far beyond the debate about │
│ Chinese policies. The world economy │
│ will need at some point to withdraw the │
│ drug of cheap money and negative real │
│ interest rates. The U.S. should anticipate │
│ these dangers. │
│ The International Monetary Fund also │
│ could help set standards about exchange- │
│ rate policies and serve as a referee that │
│ blows a whistle, even if it cannot │
│ penalize. The IMF and the World Trade │
│ Organization should anticipate this risk │
│ and give effect to the existing WTO │
│ agreement that economies must "avoid │
│ manipulating exchange rates . . . to gain │
│ an unfair competitive advantage." │
│ Third, the U.S. needs to break the logjam │
│ on opening markets. As the leading world │
│ economy, America should initially try to │
│ strengthen and increase international │
│ trade through the WTO. As my │
│ colleagues at the Peterson Institute have │
│ pointed out, there are gains from the │
│ stymied Doha Round of trade │
│ negotiations that should be harvested │
│ now: ending agricultural export │
│ subsidies; limiting food export controls; │
│ eliminating tariffs and quotas for almost │
│ all exports of the poorest countries; │
│ facilitating customs and clearance │
│ procedures; and improving the │
│ transparency and speed of the system for │
│ settling disputes. │
│ Next, the U.S. needs to keep the WTO │
│ current with a vastly changed world │
│ economy. The past WTO agreements are │
│ valuable for all 158 WTO members. But │
│ some economies want to go further by │
│ reducing barriers in important sectors │
│ such as the services trade, environmental │
│ goods and services, government │
│ procurement, and the digital economy. │
│ The services trade, for example, is vital │
│ for boosting innovation, productivity and │
│ jobs in developing and developed │
│ countries alike—but regulatory, │
│ licensing, zoning and other barriers to │
│ services are often equivalent to a 30% │
│ tariff or higher. Because liberalization in │
│ the WTO has been stuck, countries have │
│ turned increasingly to bilateral and │
│ multilateral free-trade agreements, some │
│ of which have addressed these newer │
│ topics. The U.S. should foster the WTO │
│ principle of world-wide liberalization by │
│ adopting standards in various industries │
│ and sectors that would be open to all │
│ economies that reciprocate. The WTO │
│ also needs new rules for fair trading by │
│ state-owned enterprises. │
│ Yet the U.S. also should use free-trade │
│ agreements to open markets. Trade │
│ competition advances structural reforms │
│ and growth without bigger government │
│ and more spending. The Obama │
│ administration has talked about trans- │
│ Pacific and trans-Atlantic accords. Yet it │
│ has failed to close even one new free- │
│ trade agreement. Ron Kirk, the │
│ president's trade representative, said in │
│ 2009 that the administration did not have │
│ "deal fever." In fact, it has been "deal │
│ delinquent." │
│ Fourth, gender equality is not only fair │
│ and right—it is smart economics. No │
│ economy can reach its potential if it │
│ overlooks the talents of half its people. │
│ The U.S. should lead in identifying │
│ structural barriers in countries that hold │
│ back girls' and women's health, │
│ education, credit, jobs and │
│ entrepreneurship. │
│ Finally, the U.S. needs to match growth │
│ priorities of developing economies. │
│ President Obama should expand the │
│ global food-security initiative he │
│ announced in 2009 to boost agricultural │
│ productivity and production across the │
│ value chain, including through the private │
│ sector, in sub-Saharan Africa and other │
│ poor regions. Infrastructure investment │
│ could increase global demand today │
│ while building productivity for tomorrow. │
│ The U.S. can lead a push with middle- │
│ income economies to develop public- │
│ private infrastructure models that move │
│ from "one-offs" to a deal flow. The zero │
│ returns for savers from U.S. monetary │
│ policy can make infrastructure │
│ investments attractive. │
│ In addition to offering financing, the │
│ private sector can improve the design, │
│ operation and maintenance of │
│ infrastructure. As the state of Indiana has │
│ shown, the federal government could │
│ profitably use public-private partnerships │
│ for its infrastructure, too. │
│ The administration has talked about some │
│ of these topics. But it is oddly passive, as │
│ if it were hesitant to lead. State │
│ Department speeches are not enough. To │
│ carve out an international economic │
│ strategy, the new secretary of the │
│ Treasury needs to choreograph policies │
│ across all U.S. departments and with │
│ multilateral economic institutions. The │
│ U.S. had better wake up: International │
│ economic strategy is the new foreign │
│ policy. │
│ Mr. Zoellick has served as president of │
│ the World Bank Group, U.S. trade │
│ representative and deputy secretary of │
│ state. He is now a fellow at the Belfer │
│ Center at Harvard and the Peterson │
│ Institute for International Economics. │

│ But the visit will highlight how much the │
│ region has changed since he last visited │
│ the Middle East in his first year in office, │
│ with the rise of Islamist governments and │
│ the widening repercussions of civil │
│ revolt. │
│ After Obama helped topple Moammar │
│ Gaddafi in Libya in 2011, many in the │
│ region wondered when he would emerge │
│ again to help shape the course of the │
│ tumultuous Arab Spring, which has │
│ replaced a pair of U.S.-allied │
│ dictatorships with elected Islamist │
│ governments. │
│ Within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, │
│ much has changed since the direct peace │
│ talks Obama inaugurated in September │
│ 2010 collapsed within weeks. Israel's │
│ recent battle with the armed Hamas │
│ movement in the Gaza Strip left many │
│ predicting a wider fight in the future, as │
│ divisions deepened within the Palestinian │
│ and Israeli electorates over whether talks │
│ or war would resolve the conflict. │
│ "To make it a substantive trip that is │
│ more than a positive photo-op would │
│ require setting up a specific framework │
│ for an agreement and setting a tight │
│ deadline to achieve it," said Jeremy Ben- │
│ Ami, the executive director of J Street, a │
│ nonprofit group that advocates the │
│ creation of a Palestinian state alongside │
│ Israel. │
│ White House officials would not provide │
│ a date for Obama's trip, which he will │
│ squeeze into the tight schedule he is │
│ building around a busy domestic agenda │
│ that includes immigration, guns and the │
│ economy. │
│ But Israeli media reported that Obama is │
│ scheduled to arrive March 20 as part of a │
│ trip that will include a stop in Jordan, │
│ where the civil war in next-door Syria │
│ and its growing refugee crisis is │
│ presenting a major challenge to King │
│ Abdullah II, a U.S. ally. │
│ Obama began his first term by making a │
│ strong push for peace talks between Israel │
│ and the Palestinians, believing the │
│ conflict fueled radicalism in the region in │
│ general and toward the United States in │
│ particular, given its historical support for │
│ the Jewish state. │
│ In contrast to predecessor George W. │
│ Bush, Obama wanted to demonstrate to │
│ Arab governments that the United States │
│ would make demands of Israel in pursuit │
│ of a regional peace agreement. │
│ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin │
│ Netanyahu made little secret of his │
│ preference for Republican Mitt Romney │
│ in last year's U.S. presidential campaign. │
│ Netanyahu and Obama have at times │
│ disagreed bitterly over issues relating to │
│ the Palestinians, including Israel's │
│ continued settlement construction in the │
│ West Bank and East Jerusalem. │
│ Israel's military occupied those │
│ territories, along with Gaza, in the 1967 │
│ Arab-Israeli war. Palestinians view them │
│ as the key territorial elements of their │
│ future state. │
│ In a June 2009 address in Cairo, a speech │
│ that asked for a "new beginning" with the │
│ Islamic world, Obama said: "The United │
│ States does not accept the legitimacy of │
│ continued Israeli settlements." He also │
│ did not stop in Israel on that trip, instead │
│ visiting Saudi Arabia, Egypt and │
│ Germany, where he emphasized the │
│ horror of the Holocaust and the moral │
│ imperative of defending Israel. Romney, │
│ among others, made the omission a │
│ campaign issue. │
│ But on regional security issues, Obama │
│ and Netanyahu have deepened │
│ cooperation amid rising U.S. military aid │
│ to Israel. Obama has agreed with │
│ Netanyahu that Iran must not be allowed │
│ to use its uranium-enrichment program to │
│ develop a nuclear weapon, an issue that │
│ the two will discuss during Obama's │
│ visit. │
│ Netanyahu's Likud party emerged from │
│ elections last month as the largest bloc in │
│ Israel's parliament, meaning that he will │
│ serve another term as prime minister. But │
│ a surprisingly strong showing by a new │
│ centrist party is likely to put more │
│ pressure on him to pursue talks. │
│ "It was a mistake for Obama not to go in │
│ the first term at a time when it could have │
│ affected Israeli public opinion of him, │
│ and now, it has hardened against him to a │
│ point that I don't believe it can," said │
│ Elliott Abrams, a senior fellow at the │
│ Council on Foreign Relations who served │
│ as a senior Middle East adviser to Bush. │
│ Obama's visit will coincide with growing │
│ concern in the region that the two-state │
│ solution favored by him is in peril, as │
│ Israeli settlement construction continues │
│ and as the Islamist Hamas gains clout │
│ within the once-secular Palestinian │
│ nationalist movement. Hamas emerged │
│ stronger politically from the recent clash │
│ with Israel and continues to reject the │
│ Jewish state's right to exist. │
│ Hamas and its secular rival Fatah are due │
│ to meet Saturday as part of a │
│ reconciliation process. If an agreement is │
│ reached and Hamas joins the Palestinian │
│ Authority, Obama will be faced with an │
│ awkward decision on whether to meet │
│ with a government that includes members │
│ of a U.S.- │
│ designated terrorist movement. │
│ As he begins again in the region, Obama │
│ will be advised by new Secretary of State │
│ John F. Kerry. He has also named former │
│ senator Chuck Hagel as defense │
│ secretary, a nomination still in question │
│ after an unsteady performance by the │
│ candidate before the Senate Armed │
│ Services Committee last week that │
│ focused in part on his past criticism of │

│ Saeb Erekat - The Peace │
│ Processor │
│ An interview by Aaron David Miller │
│ February 5, 2013 -- Other than Mahmoud │
│ Abbas, Saeb Erekat could be the most │
│ recognizable Palestinian on the planet. │
│ The chief Palestinian negotiator is │
│ certainly among the most passionate in │
│ promoting the cause. And nobody on the │
│ Palestinian side knows the substance of │
│ the issues or the negotiating history │
│ better. │
│ I first met Erekat in the late 1980s, while │
│ working on the Palestinian issue for then │
│ Secretary of State George Shultz. Back │
│ then, the U.S.-educated diplomat was │
│ already showing the brashness and │
│ outspokenness that would make him one │
│ of the most memorable -- if exasperating │
│ -- of the Palestinians with whom we │
│ dealt. │
│ He annoyed then Secretary of State │
│ James Baker by wearing his kaffiyeh │
│ around his shoulders at the opening of the │
│ Madrid Peace Conference in October │
│ 1991. And over the years, he continued to │
│ annoy the Israelis too with his fiery │
│ performances on CNN -- though to this │
│ day, key Israeli negotiators, such as Isaac │
│ Molho, continue to praise his pragmatism │
│ at the bargaining table. │
│ It was Erekat's academic bent, analytical │
│ chops, and capacity to write in English │
│ that would make him so indispensable to │
│ the only Palestinian who really counted │
│ in those days -- Yasir Arafat. Erekat was │
│ a unique figure -- neither a fighter (no │
│ nom de guerre for him), nor a PLO │
│ insider, nor an organization man from │
│ Tunis. Rather, he was a West Banker │
│ from Jericho, and he succeeded in │
│ maintaining his relevance in a Palestinian │
│ political scene dominated not by fellow │
│ academics, but by hard men defined by │
│ struggle and intrigue. During the heady │
│ days of the peace process, he became a │
│ key point of contact for the Americans, │
│ the Israelis, the Arabs, and much of the │
│ rest of the international community. │
│ I came to know Erekat not only as a │
│ negotiator, but as a person. He sent his │
│ kids to Seeds of Peace, a conflict │
│ resolution and coexistence organization │
│ that I ran briefly after leaving the State │
│ Department, and my daughter befriended │
│ his and stayed with the Erekats in │
│ Jericho. Saeb and I have yelled at each │
│ other, defended our respective positions, │
│ laughed, and mourned opportunities that │
│ were never adequately explored. But │
│ through it all, what he said about himself │
│ was true: He wasn't as pro-Palestinian or │
│ pro-Israeli as much as he was pro-peace. │
│ That peace has proven elusive to this day. │
│ But with all our differences -- and there │
│ are many -- I believe Erekat believes in │
│ its possibility. Who else would list as an │
│ "objective" on his resume: "Solve the │
│ Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on a two │
│ state negotiated solution through │
│ diplomatic offices"? │
│ If, or perhaps when, another effort to │
│ negotiate a deal is made, one thing is │
│ clear -- Erekat will be in the middle of it. │
│ Last week, he agreed to answer my │
│ questions on the past and future of the │
│ Israeli-Palestinian problem. │
│ FP: What were your best and worst │
│ moments in the Israeli-Palestinian │
│ negotiations, and what was the greatest │
│ missed opportunity? │
│ Saeb Erekat: Though I was not the chief │
│ negotiator at that moment, the connection │
│ between [then Prime Minister Yitzhak] │
│ Rabin and President Arafat made │
│ everyone around them, including myself, │
│ feel that peace was possible. There was │
│ significant progress in all tracks until │
│ Rabin's assassination by an Israeli │
│ terrorist -- after he was killed, no Israeli │
│ leader had the vision to understand that │
│ the window of opportunity for a two-state │
│ solution would close as fast as they │
│ continued their colonization policies. │
│ The missed opportunity has definitely │
│ been Israel throwing away the Arab │
│ Peace Initiative, which offers │
│ normalization of relations of 57 countries │
│ with Israel in exchange for Israeli │
│ withdrawal to the 1967 border. They │
│ threw it away by bombing Gaza, by │
│ intensifying collective punishments, and │
│ by increasing settlement construction all │
│ over the occupied West Bank, │
│ particularly in and around Occupied East │
│ Jerusalem. │
│ FP: 2013 is the 20th anniversary of the │
│ Oslo negotiations. What was Oslo's │
│ greatest success, and its greatest failure? │
│ SE: The fact that, two decades after Oslo, │
│ we are still a nation under occupation │
│ shows that Israeli governments did derail │
│ it. The interim accords were not supposed │
│ to last for 20 years but only five. After │
│ that, we were going to enjoy freedom and │
│ sovereignty. │
│ But Israel increased its settlement │
│ expansion. In fact, within 20 years, the │
│ number of settlers almost tripled. The │
│ institution-building efforts led by the │
│ Palestinian government have been │
│ completely undermined by the lack of │
│ freedom. This situation cannot continue. │
│ Oslo succeeded in bringing back 250,000 │
│ Palestinians from the diaspora and │
│ building the capacity for our state. The │
│ international community failed though, │
│ by granting Israel an unprecedented │
│ culture of impunity that allowed them to │
│ use negotiations as a means to continue │
│ rather than stop colonization. │
│ FP: What is the most important │
│ thing Israelis don't understand about │
│ Palestinians? │
│ SE: That we are not going anywhere. As │
│ simple as that. We are not going to │
│ disappear just because their government │
│ builds an annexation wall around us. │
│ They should close their eyes and imagine │
│ their state within 10 years time. What do │
│ they see? If they continue their policies, │
│ they are going to officially adopt the form │
│ of an apartheid regime, which I think is │
│ not what many Israelis want. │
│ FP: What is the most important thing │
│ Palestinians have learned about Israelis? │
│ SE: That Israelis will not take back the │
│ ships that brought them here to leave │
│ somewhere else. We got to understand │
│ that we have to live side by side. The │
│ rules of engagement, though, cannot be │
│ those of apartheid, but those of freedom. │
│ FP: What do you expect from the next │
│ Israeli government on the peace process? │
│ SE: I don't think there is room for │
│ optimism, but our position hasn't │
│ changed. We don't see any other solution │
│ than a two-state solution. Any Israeli │
│ government that recognizes this fact and │
│ respects what previous governments have │
│ agreed upon should become a partner for │
│ peace. │
│ FP: Is Hamas-Fatah unity possible, and │
│ what would the impact be on the future of │
│ Israeli-Palestinian negotiations? │
│ SE: We expect to have progress in the │
│ near future, with Hamas allowing the │
│ Central Elections Commission to register │
│ new voters in Gaza. I believe there is │
│ political agreement -- in fact, there is a │
│ signed agreement. We expect to have │
│ elections as soon as possible, which is the │
│ right way to solve our differences: Let │
│ our people decide, those in Palestine as │
│ well as our people in the Diaspora. │
│ Having said so, Hamas has recognized │
│ the Palestine Liberation Organization as │
│ the sole and legitimate representative of │
│ the Palestinian people, including its │
│ mandate to negotiate a final status │
│ agreement with Israel. Once that is │
│ achieved, we expect to hold a national │
│ referendum. │
│ FP: How would you describe Egypt's │
│ role in the peace process now? What do │
│ you expect from President Barack │
│ Obama's administration with regards to │
│ the peace process? │
│ SE: Egypt has played a central role, and │
│ continues to do so. We trust that Egypt, │
│ under President Mohamed Morsy's │
│ leadership, will continue to play a strong │
│ role because Palestine and Egypt have a │
│ common interest in achieving peace. │
│ President Obama had stated that he has a │
│ personal commitment to bring peace to │
│ the Middle East. We, the Egyptians, and │
│ the rest of the Arab world tell him that we │
│ are ready for peace. We have the Arab │
│ Peace Initiative. This goes in line with │
│ the stated U.S. national interest. │
│ Washington's failure to explicitly say that │
│ Israel is to blame for choosing │
│ settlements over peace has contributed to │
│ Israel's culture of impunity. │
│ FP: Can America be an effective broker │
│ in negotiations? │
│ SE: If the U.S. decides to be an honest │
│ broker, it could not only be effective but │
│ in fact could bring real peace to the │
│ region, a just and lasting one. The U.S. │
│ has a moral obligation toward the │
│ Palestinian people, who have been under │
│ occupation and living in exile for │
│ decades. │
│ FP: Is a two state solution still possible? │
│ SE: Yes, but only if there is a political │
│ will. So far, Israel's will is about │
│ colonization, and the international │
│ community has failed to put an end to │
│ decades of double standards by treating │
│ Israel as a state above the law. We don't │
│ see any other solution than a two-state │
│ solution, though Israel is taking us to a │
│ one-state reality. │

│ The Mixed Legacy Of │
│ Shimon Peres │
│ Daniel Gavron │
│ Feb 4, 2013 -- Now that he has finished │
│ his consultations with the country's │
│ political parties and charged Benjamin │
│ Netanyahu with forming a new coalition, │
│ Israel's respected President, Shimon │
│ Peres, is once again very much in the │
│ news. In his speech inviting Netanyahu to │
│ form the next government, the President │
│ spoke forcefully about peace and even │
│ seemed to influence Bibi to mention │
│ peace, a word he never used in his │
│ election campaign. Peres has rightly │
│ earned respect for this from many │
│ quarters, but now, as the coalition is │
│ being formed, it might be a good time to │
│ examine one aspect of Israel's political │
│ culture: the lack of respect for the task of │
│ a parliamentary opposition. Peres is at │
│ least partly to blame for this, as he almost │
│ always preferred to join various │
│ administrations—even as a junior │
│ partner—rather than lead the opposition, │
│ ofen citing "our grave situation" and │
│ "national responsibility." Now is surely │
│ a better time to criticize Peres than in │
│ June, when the world (maybe even │
│ including President Barack Obama) will │
│ be coming here to celebrate his 90th │
│ birthday. Then, surely, everyone will be │
│ paying deserved tribute to the wisdom of │
│ this elder statesman and prophet of peace, │
│ and it would be a shame to spoil the │
│ party. So let's clear the air right now, │
│ well before the festivities. Before we get │
│ to the matter of coalition politics, which │
│ is very much on our minds right now as │
│ Netanyahu struggles to put together a │
│ government, let us consider the other │
│ negative part of the Peres legacy: his stint │
│ as Defense Minister under Prime Minister │
│ Yitzhak Rabin from 1974 to 1977. Today │
│ Peres is widely respected as the architect │
│ of the Oslo Accord of 1993, achieved │
│ while he was Foreign Minister. It was the │
│ first political move toward a settlement │
│ between Israel and the Palestinians, and │
│ Peres deserves huge credit for securing │
│ the agreement. However, two decades │
│ earlier, as Defense Minister, he supported │
│ the Jewish settlement project in the │
│ newly-conquered Palestinian territories, │
│ both overtly and covertly. Not for │
│ nothing did Rabin label Peres in his │
│ memoirs as "an indefatigable intriguer." │
│ In 1975, while Rabin was doing his │
│ utmost to prevent the settlement of Elon │
│ Moreh, near Nablus, Peres continuously │
│ sabotaged his efforts. After no less than │
│ eight settlement attempts, which were │
│ ruled illegal by Israel's Supreme Court, a │
│ "compromise" was reached, and Elon │
│ Moreh was established five kilometers to │
│ the east of the original site. Moreover, │
│ during the furor over Elon Moreh, │
│ Defense Minister Peres quietly facilitated │
│ the creation of Ofra, near Ramallah. │
│ These two settlements, which have │
│ become flagships of the settlement │
│ movement, were the start of Jewish │
│ colonization in Samaria, the northern part │
│ of the West Bank. The previous year, as │
│ a young reporter, I interviewed Peres, │
│ after he and his political ally Moshe │
│ Dayan had refused "on principle" to join │
│ the government of Golda Meir. "If a │
│ single child can learn that politics is not │
│ just intrigues," Peres told me, "I will be │
│ satisfied that we have done our bit." Just │
│ one week later, when he and Dayan had │
│ reversed their position for no discernable │
│ reason, and were seated snugly around │
│ the cabinet table, I asked Peres what he │
│ had to say to the "single child." His aides │
│ sniggered, but Peres didn't bat an eyelid: │
│ "Just what my mentor, David Ben-Gurion │
│ (Israel's first Prime Minister) told me: │
│ when the security of Israel is laid on one │
│ side of the scales, and everything else on │
│ the other side, security tips the │
│ balance." Peres subsequently used that │
│ self-same argument to join every │
│ government that would have him. The │
│ late Menachem Begin lost nine elections │
│ before finally becoming Israel's Prime │
│ Minister in 1977. He served as a │
│ pugnacious and dedicated leader of the │
│ opposition. Peres almost never headed │
│ the opposition, always preferring a │
│ ministerial appointment, once even │
│ designing a grotesque system of │
│ "rotation" with Yitzhak Shamir, so that │
│ he could be in the government. He │
│ proposed the ideal of "national unity," │
│ and greatly devalued the democratic │
│ concept of parliamentary opposition. │
│ Former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni │
│ ruined her reputation when she refused to │
│ join Netanyahu in his last government. │
│ While it is quite true that Livni was an │
│ ineffective opposition leader, it is the │
│ very fact of her refusal to join the │
│ administration and "influence it from │
│ within" that has provoked most of the │
│ criticism by Israeli political │
│ commentators. Similar criticism is │
│ currently being leveled at Labor Party │
│ leader Shelly Yachimovich for stating │
│ clearly that she would not join │
│ Netanyahu's next government, but would │
│ serve as leader of the opposition. There │
│ are certainly many reasons to criticize │
│ Yachimovich, but not her eminently │
│ democratic decision to lead the │
│ parliamentary opposition. Very few of │
│ our political commentators have ever │
│ expressed respect or even understanding │
│ for the concept of opposition. The most │
│ popular political idea in Israel today is │
│ national unity—better still, a National │
│ Unity Government: "We should all rally │
│ round the flag and support our │
│ government in these critical times." This │
│ position, widely espoused, echoes what │
│ Peres has said repeatedly over the years. │
│ So, although the Peres vision of peace is │
│ a positive legacy, he has also taught us │
│ less helpful lessons. The settlements are a │
│ supremely negative inheritance, but I │
│ would argue that the anti-democratic │
│ rejection of the concept of a │
│ parliamentary opposition is an even more │
│ harmful bequest handed down to us by │
│ President Shimon Peres. │

│ India vs. China vs. Egypt │
│ Thomas L. Friedman │
│ February 5, 2013 -- New Delhi -- It's │
│ hard to escape a visit to India without │
│ someone asking you to compare it to │
│ China. This visit was no exception, but I │
│ think it's more revealing to widen the │
│ aperture and compare India, China and │
│ Egypt. India has a weak central │
│ government but a really strong civil │
│ society, bubbling with elections and │
│ associations at every level. China has a │
│ muscular central government but a weak │
│ civil society, yet one that is clearly │
│ straining to express itself more. Egypt, │
│ alas, has a weak government and a very │
│ weak civil society, one that was │
│ suppressed for 50 years, denied real │
│ elections and, therefore, is easy prey to │
│ have its revolution diverted by the one │
│ group that could organize, the Muslim │
│ Brotherhood, in the one free space, the │
│ mosque. But there is one thing all three │
│ have in common: gigantic youth bulges │
│ under the age of 30, increasingly │
│ connected by technology but very │
│ unevenly educated. │
│ My view: Of these three, the one that will │
│ thrive the most in the 21st century will be │
│ the one that is most successful at │
│ converting its youth bulge into a │
│ "demographic dividend" that keeps │
│ paying off every decade, as opposed to a │
│ "demographic bomb" that keeps going │
│ off every decade. That will be the society │
│ that provides more of its youth with the │
│ education, jobs and voice they seek to │
│ realize their full potential. │
│ This race is about "who can enable and │
│ inspire more of its youth to help build │
│ broad societal prosperity," argues Dov │
│ Seidman, the author of "How" and │
│ C.E.O. of LRN, which has an operating │
│ center in India. "And that's all about │
│ leaders, parents and teachers creating │
│ environments where young people can be │
│ on a quest, not just for a job, but for a │
│ career — for a better life that doesn't just │
│ surpass but far surpasses their parents." │
│ Countries that fail to do that will have a │
│ youth bulge that is not only unemployed, │
│ but unemployable, he argued. "They will │
│ be disconnected in a connected world, │
│ despairing as they watch others build and │
│ realize their potential and curiosity." │
│ If your country has either a strong │
│ government or a strong civil society, it │
│ has the ability to rise to this challenge. If │
│ it has neither, it will have real problems, │
│ which is why Egypt is struggling. China │
│ leads in providing its youth bulge with │
│ education, infrastructure and jobs, but │
│ lags in unleashing freedom and curiosity. │
│ India is the most intriguing case — if it │
│ can get its governance and corruption │
│ under control. The quest for upward │
│ mobility here, especially among women │
│ and girls, is palpable. I took part in the │
│ graduation ceremony for The Energy and │
│ Resources Institute last week. Of 12 │
│ awards for the top students, 11 went to │
│ women. │
│ "India today has 560 million young │
│ people under the age of 25 and 225 │
│ million between the ages of 10 and 19," │
│ explained Shashi Tharoor, India's │
│ minister of state for human resource │
│ development. "So for the next 40 years │
│ we should have a youthful working-age │
│ population" at a time when China and the │
│ broad industrialized world is aging. │
│ According to Tharoor, the average age in │
│ China today is around 38, whereas in │
│ India it's around 28. In 20 years, that gap │
│ will be much larger. So this could be a │
│ huge demographic dividend — "provided │
│ that we can educate our youth — offering │
│ vocational training to some and │
│ university to others to equip them to take │
│ advantage of what the 21st-century global │
│ economy offers," said Tharoor. "If we get │
│ it right, India becomes the workhorse of │
│ the world. If we get it wrong, there is │
│ nothing worse than unemployable, │
│ frustrated" youth. │
│ Indeed, some of India's disaffected youth │
│ are turning to Maoism in rural areas. "We │
│ have Maoists among our tribal │
│ populations, who have not benefited from │
│ the opportunities of modern India," │
│ Tharoor said. There have been violent │
│ Maoist incidents in 165 of India's 625 │
│ districts in recent years, as Maoists tap │
│ into all those left out of the "Indian │
│ dream." So there is now a huge push here │
│ to lure poor kids into school. India runs │
│ the world's biggest midday lunch │
│ program, serving 250 million free school │
│ lunches each day. It's also doubled its │
│ number of Indian Institutes of │
│ Technology, from eight to 16, and is │
│ planning 14 new universities for │
│ innovation and research. │
│ But this will all be for naught without │
│ better governance, argues Gurcharan Das, │
│ the former C.E.O. of Procter & Gamble │
│ India, whose latest book is "India Grows │
│ at Night: A Liberal Case for a Strong │
│ State." "The aspirational India has no one │
│ to vote for, because no one is talking the │
│ language of public goods. Why should it │
│ take us 15 years to get justice in the │
│ courts or 12 years to build a road? The │
│ gap between [youth] aspirations and │
│ government performance is huge. My │
│ thesis is that India has risen despite the │
│ state. It is a story of public failure and │
│ private success." │
│ That is what Das means by India grows at │
│ night, when government sleeps. "But │
│ India must learn to grow during the day," │
│ he said. "If India fixes its governance │
│ before China fixes its politics that is who │
│ will win. ... You need a strong state and a │
│ strong society, so the society can hold the │
│ state accountable. India will only get a │
│ strong state when the best of society join │
│ the government, and China will only get │
│ a strong society when the best Mandarins │
│ go into the private sector." │

│ Foreign Policy │
│ Don't be too sure there │
│ won't be another U.S. │
│ war in the Middle East │
│ Richard L. Russell │
│ February 5, 2013 -- Shortly before he left │
│ office in Feb. 2011, Defense Secretary │
│ Robert Gates told West Point cadets that │
│ "in my opinion, any future defense │
│ secretary who advised the president to │
│ again send a big American land army into │
│ Asia or into the Middle East or Africa │
│ should 'have his head examined,' as │
│ General MacArthur so delicately put it." │
│ The remark no doubt reflected Sec. │
│ Gates's fatigue and frustration from the │
│ enormous intellectual and emotional │
│ burdens associated with overseeing the │
│ wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. │
│ One suspects, however, that in a more │
│ reflective moment, Gates would have │
│ acknowledged that "never say never" is a │
│ wise rule of thumb in planning for │
│ military contingencies, especially in the │
│ region that makes up Central Command's │
│ area-of-responsibility. Few, for example, │
│ predicted the 1979 Soviet invasion of │
│ Afghanistan. Gates himself -- who was a │
│ senior CIA official during the covert war │
│ supporting the Afghan resistance -- surely │
│ did not anticipate then that the United │
│ States would have to return to │
│ Afghanistan two decades later to oust a │
│ Taliban regime that was harboring │
│ terrorists. Before 1990, moreover, no one │
│ predicted that Iraq, having just ended a │
│ bitter eight-year war with Iran, would │
│ swing its battered forces south to invade │
│ Kuwait. │
│ So if it's conventional wisdom that the │
│ United States will not, or should not, │
│ intervene militarily in the Middle East or │
│ South Asia after it draws down forces in │
│ Iraq and Afghanistan, it's also likely dead │
│ wrong. What is true, however, is that │
│ political and military trajectories in the │
│ Middle East and South Asia are likely to │
│ increasingly challenge U.S. contingency │
│ access in the coming decade. The ability │
│ for the United States to surge large-scale │
│ forces into the region, as it did in the │
│ 1990 and 2003 wars against Iraq, will │
│ grow increasingly circumscribed. The │
│ United States will have to adapt to this │
│ new strategic landscape by developing │
│ more nimble, highly-mobile, stealthy, and │
│ networked forces, and by abandoning the │
│ traditional practice of slowly and steadily │
│ building up conventional forces at │
│ regional logistic hubs prior to launching │
│ war. │
│ * * * │
│ Perhaps the most significant factor that │
│ portends against further intervention in │
│ the Middle East and South Asia is │
│ increased political resistance -- and │
│ outright opposition -- from the countries │
│ in the region. That resistance is likely to │
│ come from the new regimes emerging │
│ from the Arab uprisings, as well as a │
│ number of Gulf monarchies. │
│ Indeed, the political trends in the region │
│ are unlikely to conform to the rosy │
│ predictions of democratic peace theorists, │
│ whose musings have implicitly informed │
│ the security policies of both Republican │
│ and Democratic administrations for │
│ decades. Old authoritarian regimes seem │
│ to be passing the way of the dodo bird, │
│ but the new regimes taking shape are │
│ heavily influenced by militant Islamic │
│ ideology that will make them less likely │
│ to engage in security or military │
│ cooperation with the United States. │
│ Democracy optimists argue that these │
│ ideological regimes, once entrenched in │
│ power, will have to moderate their zeal in │
│ order to govern. Pragmatism will │
│ ultimately trump ideology. That line of │
│ reasoning, however, is based on the │
│ assumption that the policy decisions of │
│ such regimes can be explained by rational │
│ choice economic theory. In other words, │
│ if they want to attract international capital │
│ and participate in the world economy, │
│ they are going to have to break with their │
│ ideological affinities. But that reasoning │
│ ignores a hard fact of international │
│ politics: that time and again, political and │
│ ideological prerogatives trump economic │
│ rationality. It made little economic sense, │
│ for example, for Pakistan to pursue a │
│ nuclear weapons program in the 1970s, │
│ just as it makes little economic sense for │
│ Iran to do so today. Clearly, both │
│ Pakistan and Iran made major policy │
│ decisions based on political-military │
│ priorities rather than economic │
│ calculations. │
│ As for the surviving monarchies in the │
│ Middle East, they too will likely be less │
│ accommodating to American military │
│ forces than they have been in the past. To │
│ be sure, much of the Arab support for │
│ past American military operations -- like │
│ both Iraq wars -- was hidden from the │
│ public eye. Arab states often loudly and │
│ publicly denounced "unilateral │
│ American" military action in the region at │
│ the same time as they supported it in │
│ backroom dealings, quietly authorizing │
│ facilities support and air, land, and sea │
│ access. │
│ But if Arab Gulf states were quietly │
│ supportive in the past, their opposition to │
│ American military force is likely to grow │
│ in the future. They read the aftermath of │
│ the Arab uprisings much differently than │
│ did American and European │
│ policymakers. The Gulf monarchies were │
│ shocked that the United States │
│ "abandoned" Egyptian President Hosni │
│ Mubarak in his time of need in early │
│ 2011. Their leaders expected the United │
│ States to push for Mubarak and the │
│ Egyptian military to crack down on │
│ public protests in Cairo. After all, │
│ American policymakers during the Carter │
│ administration had at least given this │
│ policy option consideration during the │
│ Iranian revolution in 1979. │
│ Already, several Gulf states have begun │
│ to translate their displeasure into policy │
│ independence from Washington. In 2011, │
│ for example, a coalition of Gulf states led │
│ by Saudi Arabia intervened in Bahrain to │
│ quell domestic unrest in the island │
│ country. They did so under the banner of │
│ the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), │
│ which for years had been a feckless │
│ military force. Largely unnoticed in │
│ Western commentary was that the GCC, │
│ for the first time in its history, mounted a │
│ relatively effective military intervention. │
│ Bahrain today is for all intents and │
│ purposes a province of Saudi Arabia, │
│ even if it is not polite to say so in │
│ diplomatic circles. Since the Iranian │
│ revolution, Bahrain -- like the United │
│ Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar │
│ -- has pursued close ties with the United │
│ States, in significant measure to │
│ counterbalance Iran and Saudi Arabia. │
│ With Washington at their back, they were │
│ able to stake out security policies that │
│ were at least nominally independent from │
│ Saudi Arabia. When Saudi Arabia wanted │
│ American forces removed from the │
│ kingdom, for example, Qatar was eager │
│ to compensate by hosting a more robust │
│ American command presence in the │
│ region. │
│ The Arab uprisings and subsequent GCC │
│ intervention in Bahrain have turned the │
│ tables, making Saudi security backing a │
│ necessity for the smaller Gulf │
│ monarchies. From their perspective, │
│ American forces are clearly more capable │
│ than Saudi forces, but given the │
│ alignment of their interests, Riyadh is a │
│ more reliable security partner. Gulf │
│ leaders and military commanders in the │
│ coming decade will be focused on how to │
│ avoid following in Mubarak's footsteps. │
│ Part of minimizing that risk will involve │
│ decreasing security dependency on the │
│ United States. Gulf leaders have to worry │
│ that if push comes to shove, the │
│ Americans will throw them under a bus │
│ just like they did to Mubarak. │
│ * * * │
│ If the political dynamics in the Middle │
│ East and South Asia do not favor further │
│ American military intervention in the │
│ future, neither do the emerging military │
│ trends. The proliferation of supersonic │
│ cruise missiles and mines in the region │
│ will make for nasty forced entries into │
│ narrow maritime confines like the Suez │
│ Canal, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf │
│ But the likely proliferation of nuclear │
│ weapons -- and ballistic missile delivery │
│ systems -- will pose even more │
│ formidable challenges to conventional │
│ military surges in the region. In the │
│ future, the United States will not be able │
│ to take for granted unchallenged surges │
│ of naval, air, and ground forces into │
│ regional theaters via logistics hubs. These │
│ hubs -- like the American naval presence │
│ in Bahrain -- are large, readily │
│ identifiable, and will be increasingly │
│ vulnerable to future targeting by nuclear │
│ weaponry. │
│ Iran's nuclear weapons, assuming it gets │
│ them, will pose a direct threat to │
│ American military surge capabilities. │
│ Although American policymakers and │
│ military commanders might feel │
│ confident that they could surge forces │
│ into the Gulf despite Iranian nuclear │
│ threats because of the American nuclear │
│ deterrent, Gulf security partners might be │
│ more nervous and less willing to │
│ cooperate. As a result, they might not │
│ grant access to U.S. air, naval, and │
│ ground forces out of fear of angering │
│ Iran. │
│ American observers who doubt that Gulf │
│ states would make such calculations │
│ should recall how Kuwait responded in │
│ the lead-up to Iraq's invasion in 1990. │
│ When faced with a build-up of Iraqi │
│ forces along its border, Kuwait decided │
│ not to mobilize its military out of fear │
│ that the move would provoke Saddam │
│ Hussein. The incentives for Gulf states to │
│ make similar strategic calculations in the │
│ future will be greater when Iran has an │
│ inventory of nuclear weapons to match its │
│ growing ballistic missile capabilities. │
│ The Gulf states, moreover, will likely │
│ reason that the U.S. capability to threaten │
│ or use force against a nuclear Iran will be │
│ significantly diminished. Even without │
│ nuclear weapons, Gulf states have seen, │
│ in their view, a long history of American │
│ reluctance to threaten or use force against │
│ Iran. For example, the United States took │
│ no direct military action against Iran after │
│ it aided and abetted Hezbollah bombings │
│ against Americans in Lebanon in the │
│ 1980s, after Iran supported the bombing │
│ of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in │
│ 1996, or even after Iran supported the │
│ deadly campaign of improvised explosive │
│ devices (IEDs) against U.S. troops in │
│ Iraq. Gulf states will no doubt judge that │
│ if the United States was unable and │
│ unwilling to attack Tehran under these │
│ circumstances, then it is certainly not │
│ going to attack Iran in the future, when it │
│ will be able to retaliate with nuclear │
│ weapons. │
│ American policymakers may counter that │
│ Iran would never be foolish enough to │
│ threaten or use nuclear weapons against │
│ the United States, given its robust nuclear │
│ deterrence posture. But the threat or use │
│ of nuclear weapons might not look so │
│ foolish from Iran's perspective. One of │
│ the great strategic lessons drawn from the │
│ long history of conflict in the Middle East │
│ is this: Do not go to war without nuclear │
│ weapons, as Saddam Hussein did when │
│ he invaded Kuwait. The corollary is: Do │
│ not allow the United States to │
│ methodically build-up forces in the Gulf │
│ prior to invading, as Saddam did both in │
│ the run-up to the 1991 re-conquest of │
│ Kuwait and in 2003, before the drive to │
│ topple the regime in Baghdad. │
│ Drawing upon these lessons, Iran will │
│ likely do everything in its power to deny │
│ the United States the ability to surge │
│ conventional forces into the region -- and │
│ that might include threatening to target │
│ U.S. forces with nuclear weapons. Iran │
│ might accept the risk that preemptive use │
│ of nuclear weapons could bring on │
│ American nuclear retaliation, because │
│ failure to do so would mean certain │
│ destruction for the regime. The United │
│ States would be able to build-up │
│ conventional forces in the region and oust │
│ Iran's leaders just as it did in Baghdad. │
│ This line of strategic reasoning runs │
│ counter to conventional wisdom in the │
│ West, but we actually know little or │
│ nothing about what Iranian decision- │
│ makers think about nuclear weapons or │
│ deterrence theory. Since the Iranian │
│ revolution in 1979, opportunities for the │
│ exchange of professional views between │
│ Western and Iranian scholars, │
│ policymakers, and military leaders on │
│ these critically important issues have │
│ been extremely limited. Therefore, it's not │
│ unreasonable to assume that the Iranians, │
│ like American policymakers in the early │
│ stages of developing their nuclear triad │
│ doctrine, will think of nuclear weapons as │
│ merely "big artillery." Unfortunately, the │
│ United States and its security partners │
│ lack formal and informal exchanges with │
│ the Iranians akin to the Cold War │
│ discussions and arms control negotiations │
│ between the Americans and Soviets, │
│ which allowed both parties to develop │
│ mutual understandings of the other's │
│ perception of nuclear weapons. These │
│ understandings were essential for crisis │
│ management in the Cold War strategic │
│ relationship after the Cuban missile │
│ crisis. │
│ Meanwhile, the Gulf states, led by Saudi │
│ Arabia, are likely to look for their own │
│ nuclear deterrents. Much like France │
│ wanted its own nuclear force de frappe │
│ during the Cold War, the Gulf states will │
│ want their own nuclear weapons to deter │
│ Iran. Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf │
│ states will worry that the United States │
│ would be deterred from coming to their │
│ defense in future regional crises by Iran's │
│ nuclear weapons. │
│ Saudi Arabia and other Arab states are │
│ likely to see nuclear weapons as a quick │
│ fix for all of their security woes. │
│ Although they have been on a shopping │
│ spree in the past decade, buying │
│ expensive and sophisticated Western │
│ military technology, they have had a │
│ tough time absorbing the new technology │
│ and fully utilizing and integrating │
│ weapons systems. To be sure, in a rough │
│ net assessment, Saudi Arabia and its │
│ allies in the Gulf have significantly │
│ greater conventional capabilities than │
│ Iran. But if Iran goes nuclear, they will │
│ want to follow suit. │
│ * * * │
│ Americans may be weary of conflict in │
│ the Middle East and South Asia, but │
│ strategic prudence demands that we │
│ contemplate future military interventions │
│ in the Central Command theater. A scan │
│ of the horizon reveals that both political │
│ and military trends in the region pose │
│ formidable obstacles to conventional │
│ force surges into the region. │
│ But there is another wrinkle in this story │
│ that U.S. policymakers must contend with │
│ as they plan for the future. As Gulf │
│ monarchies seek to reduce their │
│ dependence on American military power, │
│ they will increasingly look to China for │
│ security assurances. China does not have │
│ a political agenda devoted to promoting │
│ democratization, and it maintains │
│ political and diplomatic ties with both │
│ Arab states and Iran. China's military │
│ activity in the region is modest but │
│ increasing, as evidenced by its recent │
│ peacekeeping dispatches to the region │
│ and naval port visits in the Gulf Beijing │
│ is likely to send more naval forces to the │
│ Gulf to increase its presence there and │
│ enhance its ability to protect the sea lanes │
│ which bring oil to China's thirsty │
│ economy. China is keenly aware that the │
│ United States has naval supremacy in the │
│ Gulf, but will be working to erode that │
│ strategic edge in the future. │
│ Faced with these realities, there is a need │
│ for new thinking and innovative │
│ conceptualizations of surges into │
│ Centcom's area of responsibility. Theater │
│ campaign planners will have to think │
│ about contingencies in which the United │
│ States cannot slowly and methodically │
│ build up forces in the region and then │
│ kick off campaigns after most troops, │
│ arms, and equipment are in place. Future │
│ U.S. force build-ups in the region will be │
│ far too vulnerable to preemptive nuclear │
│ strikes. As a result, planners will have to │
│ devise campaign plans in which the │
│ insertion of U.S. military forces begins │
│ with an immediate rolling and flowing │
│ start. The United States will have to work │
│ from smaller troop footprints and be │
│ prepared to start fighting even as follow- │
│ on-forces are on the way. Ideally, these │
│ forces would flow from multiple staging │
│ positions to reduce vulnerability to │
│ nuclear attack. The politics of the region, │
│ however, will work against securing a │
│ multitude of staging areas from which to │
│ deploy. │
│ The region under the purview of │
│ Centcom has always been riddled with │
│ political violence that has posed │
│ formidable challenges to military │
│ operations. But in plotting a course over │
│ the horizon, the political and military │
│ obstacles for American military surges │
│ into the region are poised to grow even │
│ larger. As a result, theater contingency │
│ planners will have fewer good options for │
│ projecting American military power into │
│ the region -- and they'll have to do more │
│ with the bad and the ugly. │

│ The Diplomat │
│ Getting to the Endgame │
│ With Iran │
│ Robert Dreyfuss │
│ February 6, 2013 -- Why did it take so │
│ long to secure a date for talks between │
│ Iran and the P5+1? │
│ After all, in the weeks before the │
│ presidential election in November, it was │
│ reported that the United States and Iran │
│ had already tactically agreed to convene │
│ private, one-on-one talks. And since then │
│ the United States, the European powers, │
│ Russia, and China, all sought to arrange │
│ another round of negotiations, first in │
│ December and then in January. It now │
│ appears that Iran, which is about to enter │
│ its presidential election season, has │
│ finally agreed to what will be the first │
│ round of negotiations with the P5+1 since │
│ the last round in Moscow seven months │
│ ago. On Tuesday, Tehran announced that │
│ it will join talks on February 26 in │
│ Kazakhstan. │
│ The negotiations will be a serious test for │
│ the Obama administration and for John │
│ Kerry, the new secretary of state. │
│ Previous rounds have all faltered because │
│ neither side was willing to make │
│ concessions to the other, and so far there │
│ is little sign that the United States and the │
│ P5+1 have improved their offer to Iran │
│ very much. As the talks were announced, │
│ the Washington Post reported: "The P5+1 │
│ powers have made only mild revisions to │
│ a proposal that Iran flatly rejected last │
│ June." Until now, the United States has │
│ been unwilling to acknowledge Iran's │
│ right to enrich uranium on its own soil │
│ and to suggest that some economic │
│ sanctions might be lifted as part of a deal, │
│ and Iran has refused to agree even to a │
│ limited deal called "stop, ship, and shut" │
│ — involving the suspension of its │
│ enrichment to 20 percent purity, shipping │
│ its existing stockpiles of 20% uranium to │
│ a third country for processing, and │
│ shutting down its underground facility at │
│ Fordo, near Qom — without an agreement │
│ to lift sanctions. │
│ After the reelection of Barack Obama in │
│ November, there were great hopes that │
│ the president would have greater political │
│ freedom of offer concessions to Iran. Yet, │
│ publicly at least, the White House isn't │
│ signaling that it is ready to make a more │
│ generous offer to Iran, and in fact Obama │
│ in January signed into law yet another │
│ round of draconian economic sanctions. │
│ Perhaps as a result, Iran allegedly │
│ dragged its feet on setting a date for talks. │
│ Despite prodding from the P5+1 — │
│ including urgent efforts by Russia — in │
│ January Iran reportedly went silent about │
│ talks. Russia, increasingly frustrated by │
│ the inability of Tehran and the West to │
│ negotiate seriously, vented its frustration. │
│ "Some of our partners in the six powers │
│ and the Iranian side cannot come to an │
│ agreement about where to meet," Russian │
│ Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a │
│ news conference. "We are ready to meet │
│ at any location as soon as possible. We │
│ believe the essence of our talks is far │
│ more important (than the site), and we │
│ hope that common sense will prevail and │
│ we will stop behaving like little │
│ children." │
│ According to analysts in Washington, │
│ reinforced by comments from Iran itself, │
│ a big reason for Tehran's recalcitrance is │
│ that Iran wants to prove to the United │
│ States that its vaunted sanctions regime │
│ will not force Iran to make unilateral │
│ concessions at the bargaining table. In │
│ addition, Iran is concerned that it won't │
│ get much in return in talks with the West, │
│ and that it will be asked to make │
│ unilateral concessions on uranium │
│ enrichment without getting sanctions │
│ relief in return. Combined with Iranian │
│ internal divisions, as its own presidential │
│ election season gets underway, that could │
│ mean that for the next six months or so │
│ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei simply won't be │
│ ready to talk seriously, despite scheduling │
│ the Kazakhstan round. │
│ Others suspect that Iran is waiting to see │
│ how President Obama's new national │
│ security team — with Kerry as secretary of │
│ state, Chuck Hagel as secretary of │
│ defense, and John Brennan at the Central │
│ Intelligence Agency — will shape │
│ Obama's stance at any talks. │
│ In Washington, some would argue there's │
│ a growing consensus, at the level of think │
│ tanks, Iran experts, and other analysts, │
│ that a preliminary, first-round deal, │
│ including "shop, ship, and shut," might │
│ work, if in response the P5+1 could lift │
│ some of the economic sanctions on Iran │
│ and agree to limited Iranian enrichment. │
│ Perhaps the best-case scenario is the │
│ possibility that there are ongoing, secret │
│ and back-channel talks between │
│ Washington and Tehran. Nothing along │
│ those lines has leaked and there is no │
│ indication of this, yet. But in advance of │
│ the first round of Iran-P5+1 talks in │
│ Vienna in 2009, the United States and │
│ Iran did indeed engage in quiet, behind- │
│ the-scenes diplomacy. │
│ In fact, of course, any sanctions relief for │
│ Iran will occur slowly and step-by-step, │
│ not all at once, in parallel with steps │
│ taken by Iran and openness to more │
│ intrusive inspections and oversight by the │
│ IAEA. │
│ But it's certainly not helpful that in early │
│ January yet another round of unilateral │
│ sanctions was passed by Congress and │
│ signed into law by President Obama. The │
│ complex set of new measures targets key │
│ industrial sectors, including shipping and │
│ imports of products such as aluminum, │
│ steel and coal, and seeks to block Iran │
│ from using barter commodities such as │
│ oil and gold to pay for imports. The │
│ Washington Post paraphrased U.S. │
│ officials as saying that, "the new policies │
│ are closer to a true trade embargo, │
│ designed to systematically attack and │
│ undercut Iran's major financial pillars │
│ and threaten the country with economic │
│ collapse." Obama signed the National │
│ Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that │
│ contained the sanctions provisions │
│ despite having hinted earlier that he │
│ might veto the NDAA over a host of │
│ measures contained in the bill. │
│ If the Obama administration believes that │
│ ever-tougher sanctions will cause Iran to │
│ cave in at the talks, it's likely that they │
│ are badly misreading Iranian politics. │
│ For many observers, however, and for │
│ Iran, too, the nomination of Hagel for │
│ secretary of defense may be a sign that │
│ the White House is beginning to realize │
│ that sanctions, and threats of military │
│ action, won't force Iran's hand. │
│ As has been widely reported, hawks, │
│ neoconservatives, and members of the │
│ pro-Israel lobby in Washington have │
│ slammed Hagel for his past comments │
│ and positions on Iran. In conjunction with │
│ Israel-friendly members of Congress, │
│ they've warned Obama to rein Hagel in │
│ so as not to send a dovish signal to │
│ Tehran. Robert Satloff, executive │
│ direction of the Washington Institute for │
│ Near East Policy (WINEP), a pro-Israel │
│ think tank, warned bluntly that the White │
│ House should act quickly to make sure │
│ that Hagel backs away from his previous │
│ views on Iran and at least toes the │
│ administration's tougher line. "If the │
│ White House does not take steps soon to │
│ correct that impression, the chances for a │
│ negotiated resolution of the Iran nuclear │
│ crisis will fall nearly to zero and the │
│ likelihood of Israeli military action will │
│ rise dramatically," he wrote. │
│ Indeed, within days of his nomination as │
│ secretary of defense, Hagel was already │
│ backing away from his earlier views, │
│ meeting with senior Pentagon officials │
│ and influential senators who'll vote on │
│ his confirmation to clarify his views on │
│ Iran, asserting that he supports broad │
│ international sanctions against Iran and │
│ that he believes that the military option │
│ ought to be "on the table." Several │
│ Democratic senators who met with Hagel │
│ announced with satisfaction that the │
│ former senator from Nebraska had │
│ sufficiently backtracked or "clarified" his │
│ views on Iran. Consequently, they │
│ announced that he had earned their │
│ support — and their vote. │
│ Then, during his confirmation hearings │
│ on January 31, Hagel — under hostile │
│ questioning from several Republican │
│ senators — backed away from earlier-held │
│ positions on Iran, including the role of │
│ sanctions. And, though he previously │
│ been a sharp critic of a military attack on │
│ Iran, in his opening statement Hagel said: │
│ "I am fully committed to the President's │
│ goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a │
│ nuclear weapon, and—as I've said in the │
│ past—all options must be on the table to │
│ achieve that goal. My policy is one of │
│ prevention, and not one of containment— │
│ and the President has made clear that is │
│ the policy of our government. As │
│ Secretary of Defense, I will make sure │
│ the Department is prepared for any │
│ contingency." │
│ Satloff's views were echoed by another │
│ tough-talking official at WINEP, former │
│ Ambassador Dennis Ross, a pro-Israel │
│ hawk who served as Obama's top adviser │
│ on Iran during much of the president's │
│ first term. "I think 2013 is going to be │
│ decisive," Ross told the Los Angeles │
│ Times, expressing concern about Hagel's │
│ previous comments. "Time really is │
│ running out. For diplomacy to have a │
│ chance of success, the Iranians need to │
│ understand that if diplomacy fails, force │
│ is going to be the result. We still have a │
│ challenge to convince the Iranians that │
│ we're quite serious about the use of │
│ force," he said. "In the first term, the │
│ administration didn't always speak with │
│ one voice on this issue. So what Hagel │
│ says can make a difference." │
│ Despite his poorly receieved performance │
│ at his confirmation hearings, it's widely │
│ believed in Washington that Hagel will │
│ be confirmed as secretary of defense and │
│ that his private advice to Obama will │
│ more closely hew to his long-held beliefs │
│ about the futility of sanctions and the │
│ grave downside to a military strike. Partly │
│ for that reason, it remains very unlikely │
│ that the Obama administration will resort │
│ to force to resolve the dispute with Iran. │
│ In fact, in remarks that Iranian officials │
│ cited as promising, Vice President Joe │
│ Biden expressed the administration's │
│ willingness to hold bilateral talks with the │
│ Iranians. In response to a question at the │
│ Munich Security Conference Biden said, │
│ "We have made it clear at the outset │
│ that...we would be prepared to meet │
│ bilaterally with the Iranian leadership" │
│ when Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah │
│ Ali Khamenei is serious about │
│ negotiations. Iran's Foreign Minister, Ali │
│ Akbar Salehi responded favorably and │
│ said, "I am optimistic, I feel this new │
│ administration is really seeking this time │
│ to at least divert from its previous │
│ traditional approach vis-a-vis my │
│ country." │
│ But if Washington remains committed to │
│ ever-tougher sanctions — and without │
│ promising Iran that sanctions will be │
│ lifted as part of a deal — then negotiations │
│ are unlikely to succeed. Vali Nasr, │
│ another former Obama administration │
│ official with expertise on Iran, suggested │
│ recently that there's not much more the │
│ world can do to sanction Iran, and that │
│ such penalties could drive Tehran to take │
│ radical action. The regime of sanctions │
│ against Iran over its nuclear activity │
│ "really has reached its end," Nasr, dean of │
│ the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced │
│ International Studies at Johns Hopkins │
│ University, said during the World │
│ Economic Forum in Davos. And he │
│ warned that unless there is a diplomatic │
│ breakthrough — or, alternatively, an │
│ attack on Iran — "you really are looking │
│ at a scenario where Iran is going to rush │
│ very quickly towards nuclear power, │
│ because they also think, like North │
│ Korea, that (then) you have much more │
│ leverage to get rid of these sanctions." │

│ A New U.S. International │
│ Economic Strategy │
│ Robert B. Zoellick │
│ February 5, 2013 -- Five years into the │
│ global economic storm, America's │
│ traditional allies, theEuropean Union and │
│ Japan, are struggling. Developing │
│ economies are reshaping the global │
│ dynamic but also face big challenges. The │
│ United States is the one country that │
│ could lead the modernization of the │
│ international system so as to supply │
│ security, economic opportunity, and │
│ prospects for liberty. America's own │
│ strategy for economic revival cannot be │
│ limited to the nation's borders. And its │
│ future foreign policy—its projection of │
│ power and principle—must be grounded │
│ in the emerging economic order. │
│ President Obama has said he admires │
│ Ronald Reagan's transformative thinking. │
│ If so, he should ask for an assessment of │
│ Reagan's second-term innovations on │
│ currency and monetary affairs, trade, debt │
│ and development. Reagan advanced a │
│ new international system to match the │
│ revival of capitalism after the oil shocks │
│ and stagflation of the 1970s. America's │
│ success in the 1980s contributed both to │
│ the end of the Cold War, by persuading │
│ the Soviet Union it could not keep up, │
│ and to two decades of exceptional global │
│ growth. │
│ The new U.S. international economic │
│ strategy should have five parts. First, this │
│ country should strengthen its continental │
│ base by building on the North American │
│ Free Trade Agreement with Canada and │
│ Mexico. Together, the three partners │
│ could boost energy security, improve │
│ productivity, and give North Americans │
│ an edge in manufacturing and other │
│ industries that are already experiencing │
│ rising wages in East Asia. A politically │
│ acceptable immigration policy, and a │
│ push for educational innovation using │
│ new technologies and competition, could │
│ lead to a more prosperous, populous, │
│ integrated and democratic future for the │
│ hemisphere. │
│ Second, the extraordinary monetary │
│ policies of late, led by the Federal │
│ Reserve's continued near-zero interest- │
│ rate policy, are taking us into uncharted │
│ territory. Central banks have tried most │
│ every tool to stimulate growth; if Japan is │
│ any warning, the next tactic is │
│ competitive devaluation, which risks a │
│ new protectionism. "Currency │
│ manipulation" could become a danger │
│ that reaches far beyond the debate about │
│ Chinese policies. The world economy │
│ will need at some point to withdraw the │
│ drug of cheap money and negative real │
│ interest rates. The U.S. should anticipate │
│ these dangers. │
│ The International Monetary Fund also │
│ could help set standards about exchange- │
│ rate policies and serve as a referee that │
│ blows a whistle, even if it cannot │
│ penalize. The IMF and the World Trade │
│ Organization should anticipate this risk │
│ and give effect to the existing WTO │
│ agreement that economies must "avoid │
│ manipulating exchange rates . . . to gain │
│ an unfair competitive advantage." │
│ Third, the U.S. needs to break the logjam │
│ on opening markets. As the leading world │
│ economy, America should initially try to │
│ strengthen and increase international │
│ trade through the WTO. As my │
│ colleagues at the Peterson Institute have │
│ pointed out, there are gains from the │
│ stymied Doha Round of trade │
│ negotiations that should be harvested │
│ now: ending agricultural export │
│ subsidies; limiting food export controls; │
│ eliminating tariffs and quotas for almost │
│ all exports of the poorest countries; │
│ facilitating customs and clearance │
│ procedures; and improving the │
│ transparency and speed of the system for │
│ settling disputes. │
│ Next, the U.S. needs to keep the WTO │
│ current with a vastly changed world │
│ economy. The past WTO agreements are │
│ valuable for all 158 WTO members. But │
│ some economies want to go further by │
│ reducing barriers in important sectors │
│ such as the services trade, environmental │
│ goods and services, government │
│ procurement, and the digital economy. │
│ The services trade, for example, is vital │
│ for boosting innovation, productivity and │
│ jobs in developing and developed │
│ countries alike—but regulatory, │
│ licensing, zoning and other barriers to │
│ services are often equivalent to a 30% │
│ tariff or higher. Because liberalization in │
│ the WTO has been stuck, countries have │
│ turned increasingly to bilateral and │
│ multilateral free-trade agreements, some │
│ of which have addressed these newer │
│ topics. The U.S. should foster the WTO │
│ principle of world-wide liberalization by │
│ adopting standards in various industries │
│ and sectors that would be open to all │
│ economies that reciprocate. The WTO │
│ also needs new rules for fair trading by │
│ state-owned enterprises. │
│ Yet the U.S. also should use free-trade │
│ agreements to open markets. Trade │
│ competition advances structural reforms │
│ and growth without bigger government │
│ and more spending. The Obama │
│ administration has talked about trans- │
│ Pacific and trans-Atlantic accords. Yet it │
│ has failed to close even one new free- │
│ trade agreement. Ron Kirk, the │
│ president's trade representative, said in │
│ 2009 that the administration did not have │
│ "deal fever." In fact, it has been "deal │
│ delinquent." │
│ Fourth, gender equality is not only fair │
│ and right—it is smart economics. No │
│ economy can reach its potential if it │
│ overlooks the talents of half its people. │
│ The U.S. should lead in identifying │
│ structural barriers in countries that hold │
│ back girls' and women's health, │
│ education, credit, jobs and │
│ entrepreneurship. │
│ Finally, the U.S. needs to match growth │
│ priorities of developing economies. │
│ President Obama should expand the │
│ global food-security initiative he │
│ announced in 2009 to boost agricultural │
│ productivity and production across the │
│ value chain, including through the private │
│ sector, in sub-Saharan Africa and other │
│ poor regions. Infrastructure investment │
│ could increase global demand today │
│ while building productivity for tomorrow. │
│ The U.S. can lead a push with middle- │

│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ * Asset allocation –– Local risks and opportunities trump global forces in driving investment opportunities. │
│ Cross-market correlations to remain much lower than in recent years. │
│ │
│ * Economics –– US activity data are coming in better than hoped, but we need another 1-2 months to see how │
│ consumers are responding to higher taxes. │
│ │
│ * Fixed Income –– Search for carry to trump Euro area jitters over time. │
│ │
│ * Equities –– Japan remains our main country overweight. │
│ │
│ * Credit –– We OW covered bonds in the Euro periphery over senior bank bonds and subordinated vs senior bank │
│ bonds in the core. │
│ │
│ * Currencies –– Cyprus to have minimal further impact on EUR, but a ECB rate cut would push it a few cents │
│ lower versus the dollar. │
│ │
│ * Commodities –– Stay long Brent and short gasoline. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ * US stocks continue to gain, with the benchmark S&P500 breaching its all time high level today in a gentle │
│ fashion. Bonds are generally up this week on dovish comments from both the Fed and the BoJ. Commodities have │
│ gained also, but credit remains the troubled asset class with spreads wider in most markets, especially in EM │
│ external debt. │
│ │
│ * Our overall investment theme remains that there is no overarching global investment theme anymore this year │
│ but instead a number of unrelated local forces that have largely local impact. The generalized asset reflation we │
│ saw last year, with risk premia coming down consistently across the globe and asset classes, was due to a gradual │
│ fading of tail risks that has since been largely completed. “Risk-on, risk- off is so last year”. │
│ │
│ * In addition, we are seeing no momentum either way in global growth, price or earnings expectations that could │
│ put us into a bullish or bearish growth story. Our 2.4% projection for 2013 world economic growth is unchanged │
│ since November. YTD activity data for the world are tracking our 2.6% forecast for Q1, comfortably up from the │
│ dismal 1.6% in Q4 of last year. Amidst offsetting up- and downside surprises in the US and Japan versus Europe, │
│ there has been no reason yet to raise the growth profile for the year as a whole. We hope, but need evidence │
│ first. │
│ │
│ * Without a global growth or fading-of-tail-risks force, we are left with a set of local issues and │
│ opportunities that are having a local impact, at the regional, asset class and company level, that should leave │
│ the rest of the world largely unmoved. In this environment, correlations across regions and risk markets should │
│ remain significantly lower than in past years. Various markets may seem to behave “inconsistently” with others, │
│ but we caution against expecting simple mean reversion, given our view of the reduced impact of global factors. │
│ Active investors should pay more attention to local fundamentals while long-term investors can expect to achieve │
│ greater gains from cross-market and international diversification. │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ * Local issues must be monitored and understood, though, to decide how to allocate capital and risk. Just to │
│ review a few, Japanese policy makers continue to present a concerted plan to reflate their economy through │
│ monetary, fiscal and structural measures. The strong control of the government and its high approval rating are │
│ steadily raising the chance of success. We stay overweight Japanese equities and grow wary of the short yen │
│ trade, as capital inflows and rising growth expectations (chart of right) are ultimately bullish for the │
│ currency. Watch next week’s BoJ meeting, led by newly appointed Governor Kuroda, for new reflationary measures. │
│ │
│ * The Euro area economy remains in recession, while policy makers are making little effort to reverse the │
│ contraction. We monitor signs of any large deposit flight post Cyprus over coming weeks and months to judge │
│ whether the bailout may actually be worsening conditions in the Euro. Economic forecast momentum remains negative │
│ (chart of right). These are good reasons to underweight the Euro area, if not all of Europe, across asset │
│ classes, against the rest of the world. │
│ │
│ * The US, in contrast, is seeing better spending from both corporates and consumers than we could have expected │
│ post Fiscal Cliff and sequestration. But given the huge amount of fiscal drag, which is a fact, we want to see │
│ another 1-2 months of data before extrapolating the good news. It did support US equities in recent weeks, which │
│ continue to benefit from US corporates issuing debt to buy their own shares and others', through M&A. This │
│ corporate rotation from debt to equities is almost exclusively a US flow, which helps explain US equity │
│ outperformance. │
│ │
│ * Across risk assets, we are similarly seeing huge delinking, with equities rallying greatly and commodities │
│ and credit seeing no gains (chart p. 1), very much unlike last year. Commodities are delinking as there are no │
│ growth upgrades in EM, and inflation concerns are concentrated on two countries, UK and Japan. Credit is │
│ delinking as most investors are massively overweight credit versus equities, as evidenced by the disparity in │
│ buying flows in 2011-12. Relevering by US corporate and the Fed debating the end of QE are signaling that the │
│ 3-decade long rally in bonds is likely over. Investors are starting to dollar-average away from bonds to │
│ equities. │
│ │
│ │
│ Fixed Income │
│ │
│ │
│ * Bonds rallied again, except for Euro area peripherals, the source of this week’s market concerns. The │
│ imposition of capital controls on Cypriot deposits is to be sure a watershed moment, but for now not one we │
│ expect to spark significant deposit withdrawals elsewhere. Meanwhile, the most likely outcome to the Italian │
│ impasse appears to be new elections in the autumn. With seemingly little prospect of a material rise in yields on │
│ the safest assets, we think the search for carry evident across the full gamut of asset markets will see │
│ peripheral spreads narrow over time. │
│ │
│ * Ten-year JGB yields have rallied to within a few bps of their all-time low, ahead of next week’s inaugural │
│ meeting for the new BoJ leadership. We do indeed expect aggressive easing, with JGB purchases out to 30 years, │
│ but think this will be trumped by profit taking in JGBs after the fiscal year end. │
│ │
│ * Our latest Inflation Expectations Survey (F. Diamond, K. Gupta) was out yesterday. One interesting result is │
│ that almost 90% of respondents believe the BoJ has less than a 50/50 shot of hitting its 2% inflation target in │
│ two years, a reflection of the formidable challenge of sparking inflation expectations after two decades of │
│ falling prices. │
│ │
│ │
│ Equities │
│ │
│ │
│ * The global rally in equity markets slowed this week, but did not reverse, on continued concerns about the │
│ fallout from a poorly executed Cyprus solution. The Euro area underperformed again, for a second week in a row. │
│ As discussed last week, we view Cyprus as a local problem that we address by underweighting Euro area equities in │
│ a global portfolio. A potential negative feedback loop from markets to the economy poses a serious downside risk │
│ for Euro area growth over coming months prolonging the current run of negative economic surprises from the │
│ region. │
│ │
│ * Japan is the region we like the most. In our mind the Japanese equity trade has further legs not only due to │
│ prospective BoJ balance sheet expansion but more importantly due to a reform agenda to be unveiled into the │
│ summer. │
│ │
│ * EM equities are suffering from renewed policy tightening in major EM economies such as Brazil and China. │
│ Investors have bitter memories of previous property tightening measures in China. As within DM, we see a lot of │
│ divergences within EM and prefer to focus on under-owned markets with good domestic demand story such as Mexico │
│ and Malaysia. See “Consensus Asset Allocation”, Adrian Mowat and team, Mar 26th. Open overweights in Mexican and │
│ Malaysia equities vs MSCI EM. │
│ │
│ * For long-term investors we just released our quarterly publication "Trade opportunities for long term │
│ investors" Mar 27. We monetize risk premia in Value stocks via a long in S&P500 Value vs S&P500 ETFs. It appears │
│ that a five year long underperformance of Value stocks has come to an end. We take profit on trades that monetize │
│ skew risk premia in S&P500 due to sharp contraction over the past quarter. We continue to monetize equity risk │
│ premia via buying high dividend yield equity ETFs against USTs. Our preference is to buy ETFs which track the S&P │
│ US Preferred stock due to its high yield, around 6%, and its high weight on Financials. │
│ │
│ │
│ Credit │
│ │
│ │
│ * The news flow from the Cypriot bailout continued to push spreads wider and vol higher this week, with │
│ European Financials underperforming as creditor bail-in risks returned to the forefront. iTraxx senior and │
│ subordinated financials indices widened 20bp as investors sought to hedge via CDS rather than sell bonds. │
│ European credit continued to underperformed US credit. │
│ │
│ * The fact that Cypriot banks debt is only 1.3% of total liabilities was a key factor in the decision to │
│ bail-in depositors. Yet events surrounding the banking sector restructuring also suggest that keeping senior │
│ unsecured bondholders immune from costly bail-outs is politically untenable. This removes the implicit ‘cover’ │
│ that senior bonds holders have enjoyed and has increased speculation that implementation of the bail-in proposals │
│ under the EU’s Resolution & Recovery Directive (RRD) will be brought forward to 2015 from the current 2018 │
│ time-frame. │
│ │
│ * As such, our colleagues in European Credit have examined the implications of changing recovery rate │
│ expectations across the bank capital structure. Assuming that covered bonds remain outside the scope of the │
│ proposals, we expect senior bank bond spreads to widen relative to covered bonds and prefer being OW covered │
│ bonds vs senior bonds in the periphery, particularly in Spain where covered bonds have first claim over the │
│ entire mortgage book of the bank. From a relative value point of view, we also suggest owning subordinated bank │
│ bonds vs senior bank bonds in the core as, under the new RRD regime, there is a higher probability than before │
│ that senior bank bond holders will lose money and this risk is, in our mind, not yet in the price (Rethinking the │
│ capital structure, R. Henriques et al., Mar 27). │
│ │
│ │
│ Foreign Exchange │
│ │
│ │
│ * Today’s research note, Sacrificing Cyprus, examines several presumptions which have arisen over the past two │
│ weeks due to the Cyprus crisis, and scores them on a scale of truths, half-truths and falsehoods. There are │
│ indeed some right conclusions to draw from this experience, but also some wrong ones. As examples, it is true │
│ that capital controls have created a two-tier euro, but very unlikely that Cyprus is exiting EMU. And while it is │
│ true that markets deserve a risk premium for policy uncertainty, the size of the premium should be much lower │
│ than in previous crises due to backstops like the OMT. │
│ │
│ * For example, during the first Greek crisis in May 2010 EUR undershot by 10% relative to cyclical conditions │
│ at that time, and during Greek elections in May 2012 the currency undershot by 5%. The combination of Italian and │
│ Cypriot events have eliminated the euro’s overvaluation from early 2013, when the currency spiked to the high │
│ $1.30s on a presumption that LTRO funds would be repaid rapidly, driving European rates higher. The currency is │
│ now close to fair value, so carries no risk premium for contagion. The message is similar in vol markets: the 1% │
│ premium for 3-mo implied versus realized vol is far less than the 5% premium witnessed during previous crises. │
│ │
│ * While there is no evidence that the EUR/USD cash or options market carries a risk premium, it is also true │
│ that the required premium should probably be far less than in previous crises given that a sovereign funding │
│ backstop like the OMT is in place. We are thus reluctant to extrapolate this mini-crisis into a systemic event │
│ which triggers broad deleveraging, or to forecast trend euro weakness. The currency could trade down a couple of │
│ cents around an ECB rate cut, but assuming that fears around Cyprus contagion pass in a month or two, the │
│ currency should reverse its recent decline by the summertime. │
│ │
│ │
│ Commodities │
│ │
│ │
│ * Commodities rallied this week, up almost 2%, led by energy. We went tactically long Brent in last week’s J.P. │
│ Morgan View as we believed that the correction in oil markets had brought prices too far below our price forecast │
│ of $112/bbl. Since then Brent is up around 1.5%. We stay long and expect further price appreciation over coming │
│ months. We are also short gasoline vs. Brent. Gasoline cracks (the premium for gasoline over crude prices) spiked │
│ over the first three months of the year due to a combination of low inventories and refinery closures that came │
│ during refinery maintenance season. As refinery maintenance comes to a close and demand falls seasonally, │
│ gasoline prices should fall relative to Brent. │
│ │
│ * We went long Soybean time spreads late last year (GMOS, Dec 5) on a view that much higher Brazilian supplies │
│ would find it difficult to leave the country due to logistical constraints. Since then we have seen a record │
│ number of ships planning to load soybeans in Brazilian ports and this number is still rising. The average waiting │
│ time before loading is also rising, now 38 days compared to 26 days a month ago. This has caused the front │
│ Soybean contract to rally while longer maturity contracts have been depressed by the much higher than normal │
│ supply inside the country. The spread between the May-13 and Jul-13 contracts has doubled since we put the trade │
│ on in December. We stay long as we think these logistical issues are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. │

│ growth upgrades in EM, and inflation concerns are concentrated on two countries, UK and Japan. Credit is │
│ delinking as most investors are massively overweight credit versus equities, as evidenced by the disparity in │
│ buying flows in 2011-12. Relevering by US corporate and the Fed debating the end of QE are signaling that the │
│ 3-decade long rally in bonds is likely over. Investors are starting to dollar-average away from bonds to │
│ equities. │
│ │
│ │
│ Fixed Income │
│ │
│ │
│ * Bonds rallied again, except for Euro area peripherals, the source of this week’s market concerns. The │
│ imposition of capital controls on Cypriot deposits is to be sure a watershed moment, but for now not one we │
│ expect to spark significant deposit withdrawals elsewhere. Meanwhile, the most likely outcome to the Italian │
│ impasse appears to be new elections in the autumn. With seemingly little prospect of a material rise in yields on │
│ the safest assets, we think the search for carry evident across the full gamut of asset markets will see │
│ peripheral spreads narrow over time. │
│ │
│ * Ten-year JGB yields have rallied to within a few bps of their all-time low, ahead of next week’s inaugural │
│ meeting for the new BoJ leadership. We do indeed expect aggressive easing, with JGB purchases out to 30 years, │
│ but think this will be trumped by profit taking in JGBs after the fiscal year end. │
│ │
│ * Our latest Inflation Expectations Survey (F. Diamond, K. Gupta) was out yesterday. One interesting result is │
│ that almost 90% of respondents believe the BoJ has less than a 50/50 shot of hitting its 2% inflation target in │
│ two years, a reflection of the formidable challenge of sparking inflation expectations after two decades of │
│ falling prices. │
│ │
│ │
│ Equities │
│ │
│ │
│ * The global rally in equity markets slowed this week, but did not reverse, on continued concerns about the │
│ fallout from a poorly executed Cyprus solution. The Euro area underperformed again, for a second week in a row. │
│ As discussed last week, we view Cyprus as a local problem that we address by underweighting Euro area equities in │
│ a global portfolio. A potential negative feedback loop from markets to the economy poses a serious downside risk │
│ for Euro area growth over coming months prolonging the current run of negative economic surprises from the │
│ region. │
│ │
│ * Japan is the region we like the most. In our mind the Japanese equity trade has further legs not only due to │
│ prospective BoJ balance sheet expansion but more importantly due to a reform agenda to be unveiled into the │
│ summer. │
│ │
│ * EM equities are suffering from renewed policy tightening in major EM economies such as Brazil and China. │
│ Investors have bitter memories of previous property tightening measures in China. As within DM, we see a lot of │
│ divergences within EM and prefer to focus on under-owned markets with good domestic demand story such as Mexico │
│ and Malaysia. See “Consensus Asset Allocation”, Adrian Mowat and team, Mar 26th. Open overweights in Mexican and │
│ Malaysia equities vs MSCI EM. │
│ │
│ * For long-term investors we just released our quarterly publication "Trade opportunities for long term │
│ investors" Mar 27. We monetize risk premia in Value stocks via a long in S&P500 Value vs S&P500 ETFs. It appears │
│ that a five year long underperformance of Value stocks has come to an end. We take profit on trades that monetize │
│ skew risk premia in S&P500 due to sharp contraction over the past quarter. We continue to monetize equity risk │
│ premia via buying high dividend yield equity ETFs against USTs. Our preference is to buy ETFs which track the S&P │
│ US Preferred stock due to its high yield, around 6%, and its high weight on Financials. │
│ │
│ │
│ Credit │
│ │
│ │
│ * The news flow from the Cypriot bailout continued to push spreads wider and vol higher this week, with │
│ European Financials underperforming as creditor bail-in risks returned to the forefront. iTraxx senior and │
│ subordinated financials indices widened 20bp as investors sought to hedge via CDS rather than sell bonds. │
│ European credit continued to underperformed US credit. │
│ │
│ * The fact that Cypriot banks debt is only 1.3% of total liabilities was a key factor in the decision to │
│ bail-in depositors. Yet events surrounding the banking sector restructuring also suggest that keeping senior │
│ unsecured bondholders immune from costly bail-outs is politically untenable. This removes the implicit ‘cover’ │
│ that senior bonds holders have enjoyed and has increased speculation that implementation of the bail-in proposals │
│ under the EU’s Resolution & Recovery Directive (RRD) will be brought forward to 2015 from the current 2018 │
│ time-frame. │
│ │
│ * As such, our colleagues in European Credit have examined the implications of changing recovery rate │
│ expectations across the bank capital structure. Assuming that covered bonds remain outside the scope of the │
│ proposals, we expect senior bank bond spreads to widen relative to covered bonds and prefer being OW covered │
│ bonds vs senior bonds in the periphery, particularly in Spain where covered bonds have first claim over the │
│ entire mortgage book of the bank. From a relative value point of view, we also suggest owning subordinated bank │
│ bonds vs senior bank bonds in the core as, under the new RRD regime, there is a higher probability than before │
│ that senior bank bond holders will lose money and this risk is, in our mind, not yet in the price (Rethinking the │
│ capital structure, R. Henriques et al., Mar 27). │
│ │
│ │
│ Foreign Exchange │
│ │
│ │
│ * Today’s research note, Sacrificing Cyprus, examines several presumptions which have arisen over the past two │
│ weeks due to the Cyprus crisis, and scores them on a scale of truths, half-truths and falsehoods. There are │
│ indeed some right conclusions to draw from this experience, but also some wrong ones. As examples, it is true │
│ that capital controls have created a two-tier euro, but very unlikely that Cyprus is exiting EMU. And while it is │
│ true that markets deserve a risk premium for policy uncertainty, the size of the premium should be much lower │
│ than in previous crises due to backstops like the OMT. │
│ │
│ * For example, during the first Greek crisis in May 2010 EUR undershot by 10% relative to cyclical conditions │
│ at that time, and during Greek elections in May 2012 the currency undershot by 5%. The combination of Italian and │
│ Cypriot events have eliminated the euro’s overvaluation from early 2013, when the currency spiked to the high │
│ $1.30s on a presumption that LTRO funds would be repaid rapidly, driving European rates higher. The currency is │
│ now close to fair value, so carries no risk premium for contagion. The message is similar in vol markets: the 1% │
│ premium for 3-mo implied versus realized vol is far less than the 5% premium witnessed during previous crises. │
│ │
│ * While there is no evidence that the EUR/USD cash or options market carries a risk premium, it is also true │
│ that the required premium should probably be far less than in previous crises given that a sovereign funding │
│ backstop like the OMT is in place. We are thus reluctant to extrapolate this mini-crisis into a systemic event │
│ which triggers broad deleveraging, or to forecast trend euro weakness. The currency could trade down a couple of │
│ cents around an ECB rate cut, but assuming that fears around Cyprus contagion pass in a month or two, the │
│ currency should reverse its recent decline by the summertime. │
│ │
│ │
│ Commodities │
│ │
│ │
│ * Commodities rallied this week, up almost 2%, led by energy. We went tactically long Brent in last week’s J.P. │
│ Morgan View as we believed that the correction in oil markets had brought prices too far below our price forecast │
│ of $112/bbl. Since then Brent is up around 1.5%. We stay long and expect further price appreciation over coming │
│ months. We are also short gasoline vs. Brent. Gasoline cracks (the premium for gasoline over crude prices) spiked │
│ over the first three months of the year due to a combination of low inventories and refinery closures that came │
│ during refinery maintenance season. As refinery maintenance comes to a close and demand falls seasonally, │
│ gasoline prices should fall relative to Brent. │
│ │
│ * We went long Soybean time spreads late last year (GMOS, Dec 5) on a view that much higher Brazilian supplies │
│ would find it difficult to leave the country due to logistical constraints. Since then we have seen a record │
│ number of ships planning to load soybeans in Brazilian ports and this number is still rising. The average waiting │
│ time before loading is also rising, now 38 days compared to 26 days a month ago. This has caused the front │
│ Soybean contract to rally while longer maturity contracts have been depressed by the much higher than normal │
│ supply inside the country. The spread between the May-13 and Jul-13 contracts has doubled since we put the trade │
│ on in December. We stay long as we think these logistical issues are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. │

│ Do You Know This Guy? │
│ He is Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937. And so who is │
│ Ed Mezvinsky? │
│ Well, he is a former Democrat congressman who represented Iowa's │
│ 1st congressional district in the United States House of │
│ Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977. │
│ He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of │
│ Richard Nixon. │
│ He was outspoken saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to │
│ politics and the nation and should be impeached. │
│ He and the Clintons were friends and very politically intertwined for │
│ many years. │
│ Ed Mezvinsky had an affair with NBC News reporter Marjorie Sue │
│ Margolies and later married her after his wife divorced him. │
│ In 1993, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a freshman Democrat in │
│ Congress, cast the deciding vote that got President Bill Clinton's │
│ controversial tax package through the House of Representatives. │
│ In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 │
│ of 69 counts of federal criminal bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. │
│ Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people │
│ via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams. │
│ He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison. │
│ After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in │
│ April 2008 and remains on federal probation. │
│ To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his many │
│ victims. │
│ About now you are saying, "So what!" │
│ Well, this is Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky. │
│ That's right; Ed Mezvinsky is Chelsea Clinton's father-in law. │
│ Now Marc and Chelsea are in their early thirties and purchased a $10.5 │
│ million NYC apartment. │
│ Has anyone heard mention of any of this in any of the media? │
│ If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet, Sarah Palin's │
│ daughter's father-in- law, the news would be an everyday headline and │
│ every detail would be reported over and over and over. │
│ And yet liberals say there are no double standards in political │
│ reporting. │
│ And people are already talking about Hillary as our next │
│ President! │
│ And then there is possibly Chelsea for president in our │
│ future! │
│ The cycle never ends! │
│ Lying and corruption seem to make Democrat │
│ candidates more popular. │
│ WAKE UP AMERICA │

│ Now Marc and Chelsea are in their early thirties and purchased a $10.5 │
│ million NYC apartment. │
│ Has anyone heard mention of any of this in any of the media? │
│ If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet, Sarah Palin's │
│ daughter's father-in- law, the news would be an everyday headline and │
│ every detail would be reported over and over and over. │
│ And yet liberals say there are no double standards in political │
│ reporting. │
│ And people are already talking about Hillary as our next │
│ President! │
│ And then there is possibly Chelsea for president in our │
│ future! │
│ The cycle never ends! │
│ Lying and corruption seem to make Democrat │
│ candidates more popular. │

│ │
│ Hi Jeffrey, │
│ Hope all is well with you. Enjoying this political climate 7 I moved from the Trump campaign to Kasich as there │
│ was a │
│ fabulous opportunity to be on his Advisory Committee for Elder Issues. Now, I'm going to try to get on with Trump │
│ as an │
│ advisor. He's going to have big problems with Trump University and the charge of Senior Financial Abuse in CA and │
│ FL. │
│ Also, starting a new company helping Seniors age successfully, especially individuals with dementia - the earlier │
│ we catch │
│ it the better. I've been working with a memory center and individuals in DC and it's remarkable the results I've │
│ been │
│ able to achieve over the last year. Of course, only want to work with people/families/guardians that are SERIOUS │
│ about │
│ getting the best care. I stress 'serious' because I don't want to get into a situation like as last summer. │
│ How is Fred? It's just sad sad sad that instead of letting me help him, Joe had me fixing his watch and finding a │
│ school │
│ for his son... I think of where Fred could be today, and instead he's probably locked up in his apartment with no │
│ help that │
│ has dementia training — he probably thinks he's crazy by now. Know you like Joe, but it was sad sad sad that he │
│ didn't │
│ let me do my job. Was it an intentional con? Very few things he said were the truth (but, hey, people liked │
│ Bernie │
│ Madoff too).... │
│ Anyway — the past. I'm charging in the range of $1000 — 1500 per day plus expenses and it's all highly │
│ confidential. A │
│ customized 'mind-body' enhancement to achieve the most out of one's life! And, training for the family to help │
│ transition to the 'new reality' with their loved one with later stage dementia. │
│ I'm in NYC Friday for the annual meeting of the Circumnavigator's Club, and will stay over the weekend. Love to │
│ see you │
│ if you're in town! Would also like to have lunch with Fred - enjoyed his company - but Joe probably won't let │
│ that │
│ happen 0. │
│ Love you! And wishing you Love and Happiness, │

│ Hi │
│ I'm a reporter at CNN, and my colleague Blake Ellis and I have read that Bill Clinton and Donald │
│ Trump have both visited Epstein's private island. We are trying to determine whether there is any │
│ truth to the allegations that either or both of these men may have had sexual relations with minors │
│ while there. We know that you have been Epstein's pilot, so we're wondering if you would be willing │
│ to speak with us completely off the record. We are not focusing on the allegations against Epstein -- │
│ we are solely focusing on Trump and Clinton given the current allegations being levied in the press. │
│ If you don't feel comfortable sharing anything via social media or email, feel free to send us any │
│ documentation/proof that might be helpful anonymously via mail: │

│ Subject: Do a good deed today... │
│ Here's something simple we all can do today... │
│ Diana Chapman Walsh was president of Wellesley College 8 years ago. She recently emailed her former colleagues │
│ the │
│ following idea: │
│ Listen Up! The Republicans need to get the message from the majority of Americans that we value and need the │
│ benefits │
│ of Obamacare. Here's how we do that. │
│ On January 23rd, everyone who feels that way (our numbers are legion) sends a note to Donald Trump with a simple │
│ message: │
│ "Don't make America sick again. Improve Obamacare. Don't repeal it." │
│ One envelope for every ACA supporter in your household...even if they are under 18 years old. │
│ Just that simple message. Put it in an envelope, and put a stamp on it. │
│ On January 23rd, mail it to: │
│ Pres. Donald Trump │
│ 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, │
│ Washington, DC 20500 │
│ Can you imagine the picture of 53 MILLION letters arriving at the White House by January 26th? It will be a │
│ mountain. │
│ That image might help deter the Republicans from killing the most substantial improvement to American healthcare │
│ since │
│ the discovery of Penicillin. │
│ Do it today! Drop it into a mailbox near you on Monday, January 23rd. │
│ Please send this email to 20 (or more) of your friends, neighbors ann fellow Americans. Ask them to do the same. │
│ This also helps out the US Postal Service, with about $20 Million of stamp sales. │
│ Don't send emails to Trump...they don't photograph well. │
│ I attached a document with the text so you can just print it and put it in the envelope │

│ KUNA: Yemeni FM: We are ready to go back to peace talks - Politics - 05/05/2017 │
│ BRUSSELS, May 5 (KUNA) -- Yemeni Foreign Minister Abdulmalik Al-Makhlafi said Friday that the Yemeni │
│ government is adhering to the peace process and is ready to go back to the table to bring peace to Yemen as │
│ soon as possible and to save the people from more suffering. │
│ "But the positive position of the government does not get any response by the revolutionaries who are still │
│ refusing the demands for peace or to accept any international peace efforts," he told the Kuwait news agency, │
│ KUNA, in an exclusive interview at the end of his visit to Brussels. │
│ Al-Mekhlafi said they went "to our brotherly country Kuwait" which hosted the meeting for four months last │
│ year. "After the consultations the UN envoy presented the draft agreement and we signed it but the other side │
│ did not sign it," he noted. │
│ "But after we left Kuwait and till now the revolutionaries did not undertake any steps proposed by the UN │
│ envoy, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed. We regret that peace is on hold due the desire of the revolutionaries to │
│ continue the war," he said. │
│ Al Makhlafi said that the government would continue to call for peace and hopes that the international pressures │
│ and defeats that the revolutionaries have suffered until now will make them respond to the peace efforts. │
│ "We were hoping to return again to Kuwait for the talks and our Kuwaiti brothers welcomed the return of the │
│ two delegation in Kuwait in order to sign the agreement," he noted. │
│ The Yemeni foreign minister expressed his deep appreciation and thanks to HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al- │
│ Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, to the Kuwait government and to HE the first deputy prime minister and foreign │
│ minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah who exerted great efforts during the Kuwait meetings. │
│ "We look forward to return to Kuwait, and our brothers in Kuwait are rightly saying that we will welcome you │
│ if you sign the agreement and not to waste time. But it appears that the revolutionaries are not ready to respond │
│ to this step," he said. │
│ Al Meahlafi said he visited Brussels for two-days of talks with the Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, │
│ European Commission officials and Members of the European Parliament to explain the situation in Yemen and │
│ seek support for the Yemeni government's peace efforts. │
│ He said the Yemeni government seeks peace based on the three references, the Gulf initiative, the outputs of the │
│ national dialogue, and the Security Council resolutions on Yemen, including resolution 2216. │
│ The Yemeni foreign minister called on the EU to condemn the revolution and the Iranian interference in │
│ Yemen, which is sending arms to the Houthi militias. │
│ He also expressed his thanks to the EU for their humanitarian aid and for pledging the amount of 116 million │
│ euro (USD 127 mn) during the UN-sponsored donors conference on Yemen held recently in Geneva. (end) │

│ KUNA : Yemeni FM: We are ready to go back to peace talks - Politics - 05/05/2017 │
│ BRUSSELS, May 5 (KUNA) -- Yemeni Foreign Minister Abdulmalik Al-Makhlafi said Friday that the │
│ Yemeni government is adhering to the peace process and is ready to go back to the table to bring peace to │
│ Yemen as soon as possible and to save the people from more suffering. │
│ "But the positive position of the government does not get any response by the revolutionaries who are still │
│ refusing the demands for peace or to accept any international peace efforts," he told the Kuwait news agency, │
│ KUNA, in an exclusive interview at the end of his visit to Brussels. │
│ Al-Mekhlafi said they went "to our brotherly country Kuwait" which hosted the meeting for four months last │
│ year. "After the consultations the UN envoy presented the draft agreement and we signed it but the other side │
│ did not sign it," he noted. │
│ "But after we left Kuwait and till now the revolutionaries did not undertake any steps proposed by the UN │
│ envoy, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed. We regret that peace is on hold due the desire of the revolutionaries to │
│ continue the war," he said. │
│ Al Makhlafi said that the government would continue to call for peace and hopes that the international │
│ pressures and defeats that the revolutionaries have suffered until now will make them respond to the peace │
│ efforts. │
│ "We were hoping to return again to Kuwait for the talks and our Kuwaiti brothers welcomed the return of the │
│ two delegation in Kuwait in order to sign the agreement," he noted. │
│ The Yemeni foreign minister expressed his deep appreciation and thanks to HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al- │
│ Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, to the Kuwait government and to HE the first deputy prime minister and foreign │
│ minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah who exerted great efforts during the Kuwait meetings. │
│ "We look forward to return to Kuwait, and our brothers in Kuwait are rightly saying that we will welcome │
│ you if you sign the agreement and not to waste time. But it appears that the revolutionaries are not ready to │
│ respond to this step," he said. │
│ Al Meahlafi said he visited Brussels for two-days of talks with the Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, │
│ European Commission officials and Members of the European Parliament to explain the situation in Yemen │
│ and seek support for the Yemeni government's peace efforts. │
│ He said the Yemeni government seeks peace based on the three references, the Gulf initiative, the outputs of │
│ the national dialogue, and the Security Council resolutions on Yemen, including resolution 2216. │
│ The Yemeni foreign minister called on the EU to condemn the revolution and the Iranian interference in │
│ Yemen, which is sending arms to the Houthi militias. │
│ He also expressed his thanks to the EU for their humanitarian aid and for pledging the amount of 116 million │
│ euro (USD 127 mn) during the UN-sponsored donors conference on Yemen held recently in Geneva. (end) │

│ Hi Jeffrey, │
│ Just called, but not sure I have the right cell number for you. Thinking of you and hope life is treating you │
│ great! Any │
│ news? │
│ All good here in the District of Corruption — I'm lovin' Trump. He is turning this town on its head, and have to │
│ admit, I'm │
│ enjoying watching the action (except for the shooting, of course, which was tragic). Especially interesting is │
│ watching │
│ the Dems implode — I'm really shocked at how wrong they judged the public. Am having dinner tonight with one of │
│ the │
│ Blue Dog Dems, and think they could maneuver to take over the party — Rep. Jim Costa is the defacto head — we'll │
│ see. Have popcorn, sitting back and watching the show 0 │
│ Just got a big promotion to Manager of Senior Health, Virginia Hospital Center/Mayo Clinic. Am very excited, and │
│ love │
│ the job — it is so rewarding. I spend most of my time giving lectures on neurodegenerative diseases, sleep, heart │
│ health │
│ and strategies for longevity. And the rest of the time as liaison to State and local Department's of Aging, │
│ facilitator to │
│ the Alzheimer and Dementia Caregiver Support Group and managing the assistive technology program. │
│ If you hear of any special panels or commissions President Trump is forming, please keep me in mind. Sure the │
│ hospital │
│ won't mind loaning me out, and pretty sure I'm one of a handful of Republican Gerontologists 0. │
│ Let me know if you get to DC. Would LOVE to see you!!! │
│ Miss you and all the great times we had xxxx │
│ PS. How are Fred and Mort doing? │

│ Leon Black's Tax-Overhaul Dilemma Could Alter Wall Street Model │
│ 2017-12-27 11:00:00.2 GMT │
│ By Simone Foxman and David Carey │
│ (Bloomberg) -- Leon Black recently posed a question whose │
│ answer will determine how profitable the new U.S. tax regime │
│ could make Wall Street firms like his Apollo Global Management │
│ LLC. │
│ Publicly traded partnerships, such as Apollo, are taxed │
│ differently than corporations. So should Apollo take advantage │
│ of the overhauled tax rules to pay less in taxes? Or should it │
│ use this chance to change to an Inc. from an LLC, which would │
│ increase its tax bill but allow it to attract investments from │
│ mutual funds that have previously been out of reach? │
│ "We're still analyzing," Black told the Goldman Sachs U.S. │
│ Financial Services Conference Dec. 6. "It's an uncertain │
│ outcome." │
│ Either way, it's most likely a money-making outcome. The │
│ tax changes are a boon for private equity firms such as Apollo, │
│ where Black is chief executive officer. The new lower corporate │
│ rate has made it possible for bigger publicly traded │
│ partnerships to consider the change. As it is, management fees, │
│ which typically account for 30 percent or more of their │
│ earnings, are already taxed at the corporate rate. That will │
│ drop. The legislation scarcely touched the 23.8 percent rate │
│ paid on incentive fees, also called carried interest, which │
│ incur no additional levy when paid out to shareholders. │
│ Double Tax │
│ If the partnerships converted to corporations, the │
│ incentive fees would be hit with a second layer of tax when │
│ they're paid out. That would push the combined tax rate on │
│ incentive income paid out as dividends to nearly 40 percent, │
│ according to Peter Furci, co-chair of Debevoise & Plimpton's │
│ global tax practice. │
│ But it would also allow the newly minted corporations │
│ access to indexes, and therefore the mutual-fund and ETF │
│ markets. About $2.2 trillion follows the S&P 500 Index, │
│ according to its website. As of June, $122.6 billion in assets │
│ tracked the Russell 2000 Index, the best-known small-cap U.S. │
│ stock index, and there was $1.1 trillion bet on Russell U.S. │
│ indexes overall, according to the company. │
│ The bigger universe of investors would likely boost the │
│ trading multiples of the firms' stocks. It's unclear how big the │
│ economic benefit of increased ownership would be, so the │
│ question is whether it would make up for the higher taxes. │
│ "There's no way to say how much multiple expansion you │
│ could get by converting," said Gerald O'Hara, who follows │
│ private equity firms for Jefferies Group. "That's the question │
│ here that I think these firms are wrestling with." │
│ Tax Complexity │
│ One of the main reasons the funds have stayed away from │
│ private equity managers is tax complexity. Investors in typical │
│ stocks receive a Form 1099, a straightforward document that │
│ shows interest and dividends on investments at the end of each │
│ year. Owners of publicly traded private equity firms' stock get │
│ the Schedule K-1 instead. The K-1 shows their share of the │
│ partnership's interest, which determines how much the income is │
│ taxed. It's a headache, O'Hara said. Plus, firms can be │
│ inconsistent on the time of year they send out the forms, and │
│ the process of plugging in the numbers on a Schedule K-1 isn't │
│ as simple as it is for other kinds of income. │
│ So asset managers, which offer options for many 401(k) │
│ investors, avoid buying shares of private equity firms. │
│ On the campaign trail last year, President Donald Trump │
│ said he wasn't a fan of Wall Street "paper pushers" like hedge │
│ fund managers. He pledged to raise the tax rate on carried │
│ interest. The new tax law keeps it unchanged for investments │
│ held at least three years. │
│ Hamilton Lane │
│ Proponents of conversion to corporations point to Hamilton │
│ Lane Inc., an alternative-investment manager and pension-fund │
│ consultant that's a corporation and not a publicly traded │
│ partnership. The $1.9 billion company, which went public earlier │
│ this year, is now included in dozens of S&P, Russell and │
│ WisdomTree Investments Inc. indexes. Hamilton Lane shares have │
│ about doubled since the initial public offering. │
│ Ares Management LP, created by former Apollo executives, is │
│ the most likely of its peers to make the jump, according to │
│ analysts at Keefe Bruyette & Woods Inc. Much of its revenue │
│ comes from management fees, so becoming a corporation would hurt │
│ its after-tax earnings relatively little. │
│ Bill Mendel of Mendel Communications, a spokesman for Ares, │
│ said the firm is studying the situation. Apollo spokesman │
│ Charles Zehren of Rubenstein Associates declined to comment. │
│ When Black spoke to the Goldman Sachs conference, he said │
│ he was certain of one thing: None of the big publicly traded │
│ partnerships wanted to be first to undergo conversion. │
│ "If somebody does go first and their stock doesn't move up, │
│ then you'll know that was a pretty dumb decision," he said. If, │
│ on the other hand, the "stock does great, then all of us may │
│ have converted" in two or three years. │

│ Bannon the European: He's opening the populist fort in Brussels │
│ The former Trump strategist arrives in Europe with "The Movement". Objective: an alliance between │
│ right-wing leaders, from Salvini to Orban in view of the 2019 elections │
│ NEW YORK. The invasion of Europe has begun. Steve Bannon, 65, the American far-right guru who │
│ was Donald Trump's right-hand man in the White House — but let go last summer following the │
│ racist violence in Charlottesville — is preparing to march on Brussels. Launching, he told the Daily │
│ Beast himself, a new non-profit foundation called The Movement, (II Movimento), right in the heart │
│ of Europe and its institutions. Through which he hopes to coordinate the populist right in view of the │
│ European elections which will be held in spring 2019. │
│ Objective: to compete with George Soros, the American billionaire of Hungarian origin, benefactor of │
│ the Democratic party, who since 1984 with his Open Society has spent at least $32 billion in support │
│ of NGOs dealing with human rights. And for this he became the bogeyman of the populist right, │
│ accused of plots of all kinds: including that of wanting to replace Italians with immigrants in order to │
│ have labour at low cost. A mantra repeated in the past on Twitter also by the current Minister of the │
│ Interior Matteo Salvini. │
│ The ambition of Steve Bannon, former director of the alt-right American site Breitbart — which in │
│ the European campaign preceded him since the platform had already opened bureaux in London and │
│ Rome — is therefore to become the coordinator of the one great "populist international" of which he │
│ has long since been dreaming. │
│ The Movement, in fact, intends to function as an extreme right-wing think tank: a source of strategic │
│ advice to channel the not-so-politically structured discontent of the most extreme European │
│ movements. Analysing data and giving strategic advice. But also by raising funds and channeling │
│ funding. │
│ The aim is to create a populist alliance, a sort of "super group" that if victorious can conquer up to a │
│ third of the European Parliament in the elections next May. │
│ Indeed — putting the common policy of the Old Continent in the hands of Bannon and his own. The │
│ American strategist is very attached to the Freedom Caucus — the extreme right of the US Congress │
│ — and in 2014 he was at the top of the Cambridge Analytica company, which in 2016 used data │
│ stolen from Facebook to try to influence the presidential election from which Donald Trump emerged │
│ victor. It is not a mystery that for a long time he courts nationalists of the right from East to West. │
│ And he has already met, among others, the Hungarian Orban, the French Marine Le Pen and the │
│ former leader of the British separatists Nigel Farage. The latter reappeared, coincidentally, on Friday │
│ in Pennsylvania, USA, to a fundraiser in favor of the Republican congressman Lou Barletta. Without │
│ forgetting the Italians of Lega and 5 stars. Of them, he said: "If it works in Italy, we can import the │
│ model anywhere". │
│ The Movement, which for now will count on a staff of 10 people, will be fully operational in 2019. In │
│ short, after the American midterm elections, where Bannon is fighting to influence the primaries │
│ supporting candidates potentially able to undermine the prospects of Republican establishment. But in │
│ the future the former spin doctor says he wants to spend more and more time in Europe. Also because │
│ the relationships with Trump have worsened after the revelations he made to Michael Wolff and │
│ published in the scandal book "Fire and Fury". "Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Paradise," │
│ Bannon says now paraphrasing the Satan of one of his favorite books, John Milton's Lost Paradise. │
│ Hell in this case would be the dear old Europe and its democratic values. The "army of darkness" is │
│ already among us. │

│ Sometimes certain pictures have unique significant meanings to us even though others would see them as a simple │
│ snapshot. That old faded picture of you sitting on the beach? Maybe it was the first time you ever saw the sea. A │
│ 2o-year- │
│ old picture with a childhood friend at their birthday party? Maybe it's the last picture of you together before │
│ you drifted │
│ apart. Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos that look ordinary at first glance but become something special │
│ once you │
│ hear the stories behind them. Check them out in the gallery below! │
│ h/t: Bored Panda │
│ #1 Tadeusz Zytkiewicz Holding A Picture Of Himself │
│ This is Tadeusz Zytkiewicz — the first person in Poland to receive a heart transplant — holding a picture of │
│ himself and the │
│ performing doctor, Zbigniew Religa, with his colleague, seen sleeping in the corner. The difficult surgery took │
│ 23 hours │
│ and Dr. Religa stayed up to monitor the patient's vitals. The photo, taken by American photographer James │
│ Stanfield, │
│ was chosen to by National Geographic to be the best picture of 1987. │
│ #2 The Three Unsung Heroes Of Chernobyl │
│ The three men — Alexei Ananenko (second left) and soldiers Valeri Bezpalov (center) and Boris Baranov (far right) │
│ — │
│ risked their lives o drain the fluid near the reactor during the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster in Pripyat, Ukraine │
│ in 1986. │
│ After the plant's water-cooling system failed and a pool formed under the reactor to days into the disaster, │
│ there was a │
│ high risk that the lava-like radioactive substance could melt through the barriers and drop the reactor's core │
│ into said │
│ pool, causing a steam explosion. Luckily, the men were able to drain the fluid and spectacularly, all three │
│ survived. │
│ #3 Cher Arni │
│ Cher Ami was the name given to a pigeon that saved 200 soldiers during WWI. The poor bird was shot multiple times │
│ and lost an eye and a leg but still managed to deliver a message from the trapped battalion. │
│ #4 'Behind Closed Doors' │
│ Photographer Donna Ferrato took this gruesome picture back in 1982 when photographing the lives of wealthy │
│ swingers. │
│ The couple — Elisabeth and Bengt — were having an argument and it quickly escalated, resulting in Bengt hitting │
│ his │
│ partner. The photographer wanted the photo to be published but many publishers refused and she only managed to do │
│ so │
│ in 1991. The book was titled 'Living With the Enemy' and chronicled events of domestic violence. Thanks to │
│ Donna's │
│ efforts, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. │
│ #5 Behind The Counter │
│ The photo, taken by Fred Blackwell on May 28, 1963, shows three protesters — John Salter, Joan Trumpauer and Anne │
│ Moody — sitting at the counter of a white-only Woolworth's five-and-dime store in Jackson while an angry mob │
│ pours │
│ ketchup, sugar, and mustard on them. The three protesters were from the Tougaloo College, a black college that │
│ went on │
│ to become the core of the civil rights movement in Mississippi. │
│ #6 'Wait For Me, Daddy' │
│ This moving photo was captured by Claude Detloff in Vancouver during WWII as soldiers of the Duke of Connaught's │
│ Own Rifles were marching off to fight. The boy's father safely returned home in October 1945. │
│ #7 Childhood Friends │
│ On April 6, 1972, workers of French company Joint Francais went on strike and were confronted by the riot police. │
│ This │
│ picture, captured by Jacques Gourmelen, shows two men — Guy Burmieux, a worker at the company, and Jean-Yvon │
│ Antignac, a riot policeman — standing face to face. In that moment, the two recognized eachother — they were │
│ childhood │
│ friends. "I saw him [Guy Burmieux] go toward his friend and grab him by the collar. He wept with rage and told │
│ him, 'Go │
│ ahead and hit me while you're at it!' The other one didn't move a muscle," recalled the photographer. │
│ #8 'Burst Of Joy' │
│ This photo, taken in 1973 and titled 'Burst of Joy', shows United States Air Force Lt Col Robert L. Stirm │
│ reuniting with his │
│ family after spending over 5 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. The girl with the open arms is Robert's │
│ 15-year- │
│ old daughter Lorrie. The photo was taken by Associated Press photographer Slava "Sal" Veder and won a Pulitzer │
│ prize. "You could feel the energy and the raw emotion in the air," recalled the photographer. │
│ #9 The Youngest Mother │
│ Lina Medina, born on 23 September, 1933, was the youngest woman ever to give birth. She did so when she was just │
│ 5- │
│ years-old. Turns out Lina was born with a rare condition called 'precocious puberty', a condition where sexual │
│ development happens at an early age. Lina gave birth on May 14, 1939, via a cesarean section, since her pelvis │
│ was too │
│ small. The child, named Gerardo, was born completely healthy but the father was never found out. │
│ #10 `Terezka's Scrawls' │
│ The photo, taken by photographer David Seymour in 1948, shows Terezka, a young girl living in the home for │
│ emotionally │
│ disturbed children located in Warsaw, 1948. The girl grew up in a concentration camp and the past horrors can │
│ still be │
│ seen on her face. │
│ #11 Two Brothers │
│ What might look like a fun photo at first glance, showing two brothers, Michael and Sean McQuilken, is actually │
│ the last │
│ picture of them before being struck by lightning. The photo was taken at Moro Rock in California's Sequoia │
│ National Park │
│ on August 20, 1975. "At the time, we thought this was humorous. I took a photo of Mary (their sister) and Mary │
│ took a │
│ photo of Sean and me. I raised my right hand into the air and the ring I had on began to buzz so loudly that │
│ everyone │
│ could hear it. I found myself on the ground with the others. Sean was collapsed and huddled on his knees. Smoke │
│ was │
│ pouring from his back," recalled Michael. All of them survived but, sadly, Sean took his own life in 1989. │
│ #12 Moving An Apartment Building To Create A │
│ Boulevard In Alba Iulia, Romania │
│ This amazing photo, taken in Alba Iulia, Romania back in 1987, shows construction workers moving a whole house │
│ after │
│ it was deemed to be in the way of a new boulevard. The building was split into two parts and moved 55 meters to │
│ the side. │
│ The workers moved the 7,600-ton building in just six hours. │
│ #13 Motel Manager Pouring Acid In The Water │
│ The photograph, taken by Horace Cort, shows Jimmy Brock, manager of the Monson Motor Lodge motel pouring a bottle │
│ of muriatic acid into the pool to scare protesters swimming in the pool. Martin Luther King Jr was arrested for │
│ trespassing at the same motel seven days prior and the protesters planned a swim-in in the motel's pool. │
│ #14 Children For Sale │
│ Image source: Rare Historical Photos │
│ This photo, taken in 1948, shows Lucille Chalifoux, a 24-year-old woman auctioning off her children after her │
│ husband │
│ lost his job and the family was forced to move from their apartment. Lucille was pregnant with her fifth child at │
│ the time. │
│ All of the children were bought off and rumors say they were forced into slavery. │
│ #15 'Tragedy By The Sea' │
│ Photographer John Gaunt was in the front yard of his beach home when he heard his neighbor shouting "something's │
│ happening on the beach!". The photographer quickly grabbed his camera and rushed to the beach where he found a │
│ couple by the water clutching each other. Their 19-month-old son had just wandered off and vanished into the │
│ water. This │
│ heartbreaking photo went on to wn the Pulitzer Prize. │
│ #16 'An Armenian Man Dances For His Lost Son In The │
│ Mountains Near Aparan, Armenia' │
│ "In 1998, I found myself in Aparan, a large town an hour's drive from Armenia's capital, Yerevan. A local dance │
│ troupe │
│ was performing that evening, in the open air, with most of the suburb in attendance. As soon as I took my first │
│ shot, an │
│ old man approached me," said French photographer Antoine Agoudjian. "Tears streamed down his face. He told me │
│ that │
│ his son had died. That he had been electrocuted, that he was his pride and joy, and that I looked just like him. │
│ He broke │
│ into sobs and moved towards me with outstretched arms. His name was Ishran. I asked if he would dance for me, and │
│ he │
│ began dancing. The troupe paused and perched on an outcrop of rocks in the background. It was beautiful, not │
│ because │
│ the man is beautiful, but because he represents something deep inside the collective consciousness of the │
│ Armenian │
│ community: a celebratory resilience in the face of overwhelming loss." │
│ #17 Class Of 1999 │
│ What looks like an innocent high school picture, actually hides a dark secret — the teens on the left, pretending │
│ to point │
│ guns at the camera, were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the same people that organized and carried out the │
│ Columbine │
│ shooting. │
│ 4618 Atomic Bomb Detonation │
│ Image source: Reddit │
│ Harold Edgerton was an MIT physicist, photographer, and pioneer of strobe light photography — a type of │
│ photography │
│ that allowed to capture incredibly fast moving things clearly. This photograph was taken at the Nevada │
│ ProvingGrounds │
│ by Edgerton on June 5, 1952, during the operation Operation Tumbler-Snapper test series. │
│ #19 'flight Of Refugees Across Wrecked Bridge In Korea' │
│ Back in 1950, Associatede Press photographer Max Desfor took this dramatic photograph of refugees trying to cross │
│ a │
│ destroyed Pyongyang bridge, over the Taedong River in North Korea to escape the country. The photo won the │
│ Pulitzer │
│ Prize in 1951. │
│ #20 "I Will Not Be Sued! I Have The Voice Of An Angel! │
│ No Man Can Sue Me." │
│ After giving an amazing performance in Chicago's Civic Opera House back on November 17, 1955, opera singer Maria │
│ Callas was served a court summons by U.S. Marshal Stanley Pringle and Deputy Sheriff Dan Smith for breach of │
│ contract. │
│ Upon being presented with the document, Maria screamed "I will not be sued! I have the voice of an angel! No man │
│ can │
│ sue me." The singer was nicknamed "The Tigress" and vowed never to return to Chicago again. │
│ #21 Young Osama │
│ In this family picture taken in Sweden in 1971, the man second from the left seen in a brown shirt is no one else │
│ but │
│ Osama bin Laden. │
│ #22 Rajiv Gandhi │
│ Just moments after this picture was taken, Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was killed by the girl seen on the │
│ bottom │
│ left wearing orange flowers — she was wearing a suicide west. │
│ #23 SS Gran dcamp │
│ What might seem like an ordinary picture at first, shows a fire breaking out aboard the ship called SS Grandcamp. │
│ The │
│ people on the dock are members of the Texas City Volunteer Fire Department, attempting to extinguish the fire. │
│ Just │
│ moments after the picture was taken, the ship exploded and caused what is still known as the largest non-nuclear │
│ explosion in human history. Over 5,000 people were injured and 468 died in this 1947 tragedy. │
│ #24 Soviet Soldiers Harassing A German Woman │
│ During the Soviet occupation of Germany, mass rapes took place in the occupied territory during the war and │
│ after. Some │
│ historians say that as many as 2 million German women might have been raped. │
│ #25 'Leap Into Freedom' │
│ Image source: TIME │
│ After post-war Berlin was divided into four occupation zones, the living conditions were greatly different in │
│ each one. │
│ Between 1949 and 1961, about 2.5 million people fled from Soviet-occupied East Germany. Barricades and barb wire │
│ was │
│ placed to stop people from fleeing but that did not stop 19-year-old border guard Hans Conrad Schumann. A crown │
│ in │
│ West Berlin was enticing the young soldier to come over. The soldier said he did not want to "live enclosed," and │
│ jumped │
│ the barbed wire, escaping into the West side. The photo was considered a symbol of freedom but Hans did not deal │
│ with │
│ the newly-found fame well — he committed suicide in 1998. │
│ #26 'D-Day' │
│ Image source: TIME │
│ LIFE photographer Robert Capa captured this dramatic image on 6 June, 1944 — during the D-Day invasion. The man │
│ in │
│ the photo is Private First Class Huston Riley, a 22-year-old soldier who was shot multiple times. The │
│ photographer and a │
│ fellow sergeant helped the wounded soldier who later recalled thinking "What the hell is this guy doing here? I │
│ can't │
│ believe it. Here's a cameraman on the shore." Robert spent over an hour taking photographs as men around him │
│ died. │
│ Sadly, only one roll of the film survived but the grainy photos were enough to portray the gut-wrenching │
│ atmosphere of │
│ that day. │
│ #27 An Injured Young Mill Worker │
│ This photo, captured in October 1912, shows an 11-year-old Sanders Spinning Mill worker Giles Edmund Newsom, who │
│ recently lost two fingers after an accident in the workplace. He was working along his younger brother for a few │
│ months │
│ before the accident. │
│ *28 Rodney Alcala │
│ In this picture, Rodney Alcala, known as the 'dating game killer', cross-examines himself in court. He killed │
│ several │
│ women in the 705 and was even a guest on a dating show during that period. He tried representing himself in │
│ court, │
│ changing his voice and pretending to be a different person, but eventually lost and was sentenced to death. │
│ *29 "The Last Laugh?" │
│ Two convicted murderers — Richard Hickock and Perry Smith — laugh after hearing about their death sentences. They │
│ have murdered a family of four after trying to rob them and only finding $50. │
│ #3o Argument │
│ This dramatic photo was taken by French-Iranian photographer Abbas in Tehran, Iran back in 1978. A rioter holds │
│ the │
│ shoes of a dead friend who was killed after the military opened fire on the crowd, while the soldier tries to │
│ convince the │
│ man it was not his unit that opened fire. │

│ REMEMBERING CAVALIER MAGAZINE │
│ ]; Mrisman02 │
│ 1 │
│ LAUNCHING A MAGAZINE │
│ My friend Michael Simmons, who has been the editor of National Lampoon and High │
│ Times, observes that cavalier hired fine scribes. A few examples: Thomas Pynchon, Philip Roth, │
│ William Saroyman, Isaac Asimov, Theodore Sturgeon. Cavalier was launched by Fawcett │
│ Publications in 1952. │
│ Men's magazine Cavalier (motto: "For the American Male") was published the year │
│ before Playboy to whom it has often been compared, and back in the day tried to be seen as │
│ slightly hipper, more youthful and considered a bit more clever than its big name rival. Almost │
│ an anti-establishment Playboy. A slogan stated: "Your dad bought Playboy, you │
│ bought Cavalier." │
│ I BECAME A COLUMNIST │
│ I was invited to write a column, named "The Naked Emperor," for Cavalier, that was beginning │
│ to publish underground writers and artists. They paid me $1,000 a month. My first column was a │
│ report on an auction of two-inch squares from the hotel bedsheets slept on by the Beatles during │
│ their first trip to America. │
│ There were 300 screaming young girls, off on a fetishist's holiday. Obviously, there wouldn't be │
│ enough items to go around, but it was announced that the Beatles' unwashed towels and bed │
│ linens were to be cut into two-inch squares and sold for $1 each. The price included a notarized │
│ statement of authenticity. │
│ My second column was about Lenny Bruce___titled "Lenny the Lawyer," since he defended │
│ himself in trials He was arrested for obscene performances only because there were no blasphemy │
│ laws. I went to the bank and deposited my check, withdrawing half of it in cash, a $500 bill. │
│ Lenny was alone in his hotel room on Christmas Day when I presented it to him. And, with a │
│ large safety pin, Lenny attached the $500 bill to the outside breast pocket of his denim dungaree │
│ j acket. │
│ AFTER JFK ASSASSINATION │
│ In another column of mine, "Jack Ruby and His Dirty Little Secret," it began, "Lenny Bruce │
│ told me how all the night club comics used to Jack Ruby's "tattoo of a lady's schmutzik (translate: │
│ pussy) in his armpit." If it wasn't a fact, I was quite willing to settle for an apocryphal allusion │
│ which nevertheless crystallized the entire personality of that alleged murderer who wanted so │
│ very much to be liked. │
│ I say alleged because upon Ruby's own death. Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade said he │
│ would dismiss the murder charge against him, a promise which has since been kept, although no │
│ such posthumous grace was ever officially bestowed on Lee Harvey Oswald. See, they grant you │
│ retroactive innocence only in the face of innumerable witnesses who were present at the actual │
│ event through the miracle of inadvertent televised coverage. │
│ Now Jack Ruby's dirty little secret has been forever sealed away in his armpit by the hymen of │
│ history. Oh yeah, and at Lenny's funeral, that safety pin was still attached on his jacket. │
│ JULES SIEGEL │
│ Two years before Lenny's death, with his permission I published his obituary in my own │
│ magazine, The Realist. Before the issue went to press, he called his mother and a few others to │
│ let them know it would only be a hoax. The point was that he couldn't get work and his work was │
│ his life so he might as well be dead. And if people regretted that they hadn't helped him, well, │
│ now they could have a second chance because he was still alive. The obituary evoked inquiries │
│ from newspapers, wire services, foreign publications, radio and TV. │
│ "What's the meaning of it?" one editor asked me. "There's a lot of excitement at the city │
│ desk." │
│ "That is the meaning of it." │
│ A few years later, without my permission, Jules Siegel, the editor of a short-lived │
│ magazine, Cheetah, published a fake obituary of me. I thought it was funny. An Associated Press │
│ reporter called, and I explained that it was a hoax. │
│ "Are you sure?" he asked. │
│ "Of course. I would tell you if I was dead." │
│ Siegel started writing for cavalier. His first assignment was a profile of Sterling Hayden, an actor │
│ best known in Dr, Stranglove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. │
│ Journalist Adam Ellsworth described Siegel's "Goodbye Surfing, Hello God" with his most │
│ famous example of rock journalism, but his most revolutionary was his article, "The Big Beat." │
│ It appeared in the Playboy-esque Cavalier magazine in 1965 and was one of the earliest writings │
│ he'd ever seen on the development of rock and roll, from slaves singing in chains on their way to │
│ America to Bob Dylan "going electric" at the Newport Folk Festival. │
│ Then Jules' friend, Arthur Kretchmer, became Cavalier's managing editor. "When the editorial │
│ director later resigned," Kretchmer said, "there was a 24-hour hiatus before the new editor │
│ arrived." Siegel and Kretchmer had been discussing the possibility of publishing an issue on rock │
│ and roll, so to make it happen, Kretchmer went into the office at night and retyped the magazine's │
│ schedule to include their ideas. │
│ When the new editorial started, Kretchmer handed him the schedules and said, "Here's what │
│ we're working on." The new editorial director suspected nothing and the rock and roll issue went │
│ ahead. Once the laughter died down, Jules talked for a good 25 minutes about │
│ some of the ups and downs of his writing career and how hard it is to make a │
│ living as any kind of a writer, let alone a "rock journalist." and the people who │
│ created it, seriously. │
│ Now everybody writes about rock and roll that way. Jules was one of the │
│ people who did it first. "Goodbye Surfing, Hello God!" is Jules's most famous │
│ example of rock journalism, but I think his most revolutionary is his article │
│ "The Big Beat." It appeared in the Playboy-esque Cavalier magazine in 1965 │
│ and is one of the earliest writings I've ever seen on the development of rock │
│ and roll, from slaves singing in chains on their way to America to Bob Dylan │
│ "going electric" at the Newport Folk Festival. │
│ Jules Siegel died of a heart attack on November 17, 2012 at the age of 77. │
│ He was a brilliant author, but neither Rolling Stone nor the New York │
│ Times honored him with an obituary. Not even a fake one. │
│ COMIC STRIPS │
│ Art Spiegelman tells me his work at Cavalier 50 years ago: │
│ I was first invited into the mag to do two full-color comix pages in 1969 (when being printed in color │
│ was a Very Big Deal for me as was Getting Paid more than 25 bucks for a drawing), somehow in │
│ proximity to a big article on underground comix. It was around the time Vaughn Bode was made a │
│ regular contributor to the magazine, They were running some Crumb "Fritz the Cat" pages. All thanx │
│ to their hip, laid back and kind editor, Alan LeMond. │
│ I also did some gag cartoons, short strips and occasional illustrations for Cavalier (one especially │
│ bad drawing for a story by Bruce Jay Friedman, I recall). My work in 1969, as an apprentice │
│ underground cartoonist taking too many drugs was really, really awful so I'm grateful for the editor's │
│ hip and laid-back kindness. But, hey, I was proud to be in a mag that published pieces by Pynchon, │
│ Manny Farber and you. │
│ By the time I'd gotten incrementally better as a cartoonist in the first half of the 1970s I was regularly │
│ doing illustrations for soft-core fiction stories in Cavalier's low-rent sister │
│ mags, Dude, Gent and Nugget (even wrote a story or two there and got several of my San Francisco │
│ comix cronies (Spain Rodriguez, Bill Griffith and Justin Greene) illustration gigs with Alan for those │
│ mags as well. │

│ [Note in Wikipedia: Maus is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Art Spiegelman, │
│ serialized from 1980 to 1991. It depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences │
│ as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work employs postmodemist techniques and │
│ represents Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs. In 1992, Maus won a Pulitzer Prize.] │
│ COMIING AND GOING │
│ I wrote some movie reviews for Cavalier. I recall that Midnight Cowboy was 50 years ago. I │
│ always went to two screenings. The first one I would go stoned with magic mushrooms. The │
│ second one I took notes. However, I got fired by Cavalier. │
│ They declined to publish a particular column--my review of MASH as though it were a Busby │
│ Berkeley musical called Gook Killers of 1970-- ostensibly on the grounds of bad taste, but I │
│ learned that three wholesalers had told the publisher they were pressured by the FBI and would │
│ refuse to distribute Cavalier if my name appeared in it. │
│ On top of that, my name was on a list of sixty-five "radical" campus speakers, released by the │
│ House Internal Security Committee. The blacklist was published in the New York Times, and │
│ picked up by newspapers across the country. It might have been a coincidence, but my campus- │
│ speaking engagement-bookings stopped abruptly. It felt just like a film. │
│ OH, WELL │
│ It was over for me, but it had been fun___like the issue with only the one large red headline │
│ on the Cavalier cover: "BEAT 'EM SENSELESS FIRST"___THE FREE SPEECH │
│ CONTROVERSY, BY PAUL KRASSNER . . . "Ironically," I wrote, "it is this concept of the │
│ total education experience on campus which I believe to be the basic significance of the much- │
│ misunderstood free-speech imbroglio at the University of California in Berkeley." │
│ The sit-in lasted till 3 a.m. Next day, October 1, 1964, ten tables were manned again, and │
│ a campus policeman approached one of the tables (manned by the Congress of Racial Equality) │
│ where a dozen persons were seated. One was singled out and placed under arrest. But before you │
│ could say nonviolent demonstration, the police car was surrounded, its captors reaching as many │
│ as 3,000 students. During the late evening, bored fraternity men gathered and tossed lighted │
│ cigarettes and eggs on those sitting in the plaza. The demonstrators responded with silence. │
│ Next day, 450 police assembled on campus to remove the cop car and its arrested inhabitant, │
│ but an agreement to negotiate was reached and the demonstrators dispersed. One of the folk songs │
│ to come out of the Free Speech Movement incidentally, was If I Negotiate With You, to the tune │
│ of the Beatles' If IFell in Love With You. │
│ Over the next couple of months there was a series of sit-ins and attempted negotiations, and │
│ then, on December 2, the infamous Sproul Hall sit-in. It took twelve hours for 800 students to be │
│ arrested by some 600 instructors of a new course called Introductory Police Brutality. These were │
│ from the lab notes student took. │
│ There was a freshman co-ed at Berkeley who___long after she had forgotten what some │
│ professor spouted during an official lecture about Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment___would │
│ remember, with perhaps a twinge of frightened pride, learning from a fellow demonstrator that if │
│ she planned to go limp when the police arrested her, it would be an act of practical feminine │
│ foresight to remove the earrings from her pierced lobes in advance. │
│ So, now in 2019, fighting over free speech has been happening heavily at Berkeley campus again. │
│ Meanwhile, Trump grabbed a pussy on the Statue of Liberty. Cavalier, anyone? │

│ Dear Jeff, │
│ I read the news papers today, I can't believe they arrested you again, you are the only man on the planet who │
│ would never be bad with any women as you love them too much. │
│ It is so untrue what they are saying. If you need my support I am there. │
│ I was 19 when I meet you with our wonderful commun friend HRH Prince Andrew and you would have never │
│ done anything wrong to me. │
│ I meet the few lovely girls around you, they loved you and you were so good with them. They were bringing │
│ you ideas, creativity, a touch of youth in this very difficult world and happiness like a young can do. │
│ Nothing more! Then of course I am sure they were happy to hope to become your girlfriend as women are │
│ always attracted by men of power! │
│ I traveled with you to discuss my future in business, you introduced me amongst the most important scientists │
│ and neuroscientists in the world at Harvard University and you kindly advise me to continue to study. You also │
│ explained to me that life is hard and business is difficult.You were feeling I should study more. All your │
│ advises │
│ were so right. Thank you. │
│ I feel sorry that these girls are only interested by your money. I feel sorry for that and they might be │
│ manipulated by people of power who wish to do bad to the Trump gouvernement. │
│ Do you remember that you asked me to be your girlfriend, I was back in France after our trip together in │
│ Harvard, you tried to convince me on the phone, I refused and look today we stayed friends for ever. You never │
│ did anything wrong as these girls are mentioning, it was up to them to be involved with you sexually, it was │
│ their own decision, not your wish. │
│ I don't know if you will read this message. I hope so. │
│ Please receive my warmest wishes and love. │

│ German Media Confess to │
│ Underestimating Steve │
│ Bannon; He Is 'As Dangerous │
│ as Ever' │
│ by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.11 Mar 201.- │
│ 0 │
│ As Steve Bannon continues his tour of Europe, energizing the anti- │
│ establishment populist base, the mainstream media cannot help but │
│ admit their admiration for his abilities, despite their dislike of his aims. │
│ In this week's issue, the left-wing German weekly Stern articulates the greatest fear of the European │
│ establishment: that Bannon "could give the fragmented right in Europe a common ideology and rhetoric." │
│ Many thought that the reign of the "Dark Lord" had ended, writes Gernot Kramper, when Steve Bannon left │
│ first the White House and then his role as executive chairman of Breitbart News. It turns out, however, that │
│ Bannon's adversaries had underestimated him, because he is "as dangerous as ever," he confesses. │
│ Kramper cannot conceal his respect for Bannon's ability to move a crowd. He was greeted by "frenetic │
│ applause" in his recent address before France's National Front party, Kramper writes, demonstrating his │
│ "impressive potential," which the writer describes as "dangerous." │
│ In the mind of his audience, Bannon is something of a miracle-worker, Stamper notes, having "done the │
│ impossible" by bringing Donald Trump into the White House. │
│ The reason Bannon is dangerous, Kramper continues, is because he "lays out the political program of a │
│ worldwide right: He has already conquered the USA; now Europe and then the whole world will follow." │
│ "You are part of a worldwide movement that is bigger than France, bigger than Italy, bigger than Hungary, │
│ bigger than all that," Bannon told French populists. │
│ Bannon showed that he "dominates the mood against the 'elites,' the 'establishment' and the 'perverse system' │

│ As Steve Bannon continues his tour of Europe, energizing the anti- │
│ establishment populist base, the mainstream media cannot help but │
│ admit their admiration for his abilities, despite their dislike of his aims. │
│ In this week's issue, the left-wing German weekly Stern articulates the greatest fear of the European │
│ establishment: that Bannon "could give the fragmented right in Europe a common ideology and rhetoric." │
│ Many thought that the reign of the "Dark Lord" had ended, writes Gernot Kramper, when Steve Bannon left │
│ first the White House and then his role as executive chairman of Breitbart News. It turns out, however, that │
│ Bannon's adversaries had underestimated him, because he is "as dangerous as ever," he confesses. │
│ Kramper cannot conceal his respect for Bannon's ability to move a crowd. He was greeted by "frenetic │
│ applause" in his recent address before France's National Front party, Kramper writes, demonstrating his │
│ "impressive potential," which the writer describes as "dangerous." │
│ In the mind of his audience, Bannon is something of a miracle-worker, Stamper notes, having "done the │
│ impossible" by bringing Donald Trump into the White House. │
│ The reason Bannon is dangerous, Kramper continues, is because he "lays out the political program of a │
│ worldwide right: He has already conquered the USA; now Europe and then the whole world will follow." │
│ "You are part of a worldwide movement that is bigger than France, bigger than Italy, bigger than Hungary, │
│ bigger than all that," Bannon told French populists. │
│ Bannon showed that he "dominates the mood against the 'elites,' the 'establishment' and the 'perverse system' │
│ of greedy corporations and banks, and of course also against the press, which is led around 'like a dog on the │
│ Leash," Stamper writes. │

│ WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that investigators working with special counsel Robert Mueller │
│ have interviewed Tom Barrack, a close friend and confidant of President Donald Trump. │
│ Three people familiar with the probe tell the AP that Barrack met with federal investigators working on the │
│ Russia inquiry. │
│ The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. │
│ Barrack's spokeswoman, Lisa Baker, declined to comment. │
│ Barrack has known Trump for decades. He's been one of Trump's closest advisers through the 2016 campaign and into │
│ the │
│ administration. Barrack also is a leading fundraiser for the president and oversaw the fundraising for the │
│ inauguration. │
│ Barrack has a longstanding relationship with Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and Manafort's │
│ onetime │
│ deputy, Rick Gates. │
│ Gates agreed to begin cooperating with Mueller's investigators in February. │

│ • │
│ • • The Department of Justice lost its latest battle with Congress Thursday when it agreed to brief House │
│ Intelligence Committee members about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI's │
│ investigation of the Trump campaign. Even without official confirmation of that source's name, the news so │
│ far holds some stunning implications. │
│ Among them is that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation outright hid critical │
│ information from a congressional investigation. In a Thursday press conference, Speaker Paul Ryan bluntly │
│ noted that Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes's request for details on this secret source was "wholly │
│ appropriate," "completely within the scope" of the committee's long-running FBI investigation, and │
│ "something that probably should have been answered a while ago." Translation: The department knew full │
│ well it should have turned this material over to congressional investigators last year, but instead deliberately │
│ concealed it. │
│ House investigators nonetheless sniffed out a name, and Mr. Nunes in recent weeks issued a letter and a │
│ subpoena demanding more details. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's response was to double │
│ down—accusing the House of "extortion" and delivering a speech in which he claimed that "declining to │
│ open the FBI's files to review" is a constitutional "duty." Justice asked the White House to back its │
│ stonewall. And it even began spinning that daddy of all superspook arguments—that revealing any detail │
│ about this particular asset could result in "loss of human lives." │
│ This is desperation, and it strongly suggests that whatever is in these files is going to prove very │
│ uncomfortable to the FBI. │
│ The bureau already has some explaining to do. Thanks to the Washington Post's unnamed law-enforcement │
│ leakers, we know Mr. Nunes's request deals with a "top secret intelligence source" of the FBI and CIA, who │
│ is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe. When government agencies refer to │
│ sources, they mean people who appear to be average citizens but use their profession or contacts to spy for │
│ the agency. Ergo, we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his │
│ or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign. │
│ This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the │
│ electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees │
│ rampantly "unmasked" Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty │
│ with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court │
│ that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been │
│ rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carr& style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign. │
│ Which would lead to another big question for the FBI: When? The bureau has been doggedly sticking with │
│ its story that a tip in July 2016 about the drunken ramblings of George Papadopoulos launched its │
│ counterintelligence probe. Still, the players in this affair—the FBI, former Director Jim Comey, the Steele │
│ dossier authors—have been suspiciously vague on the key moments leading up to that launch date. When │
│ precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information │
│ come in? │
│ And to the point, when precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous │
│ Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn't being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump │
│ campaign prior to that moment. And that in turn would mean that the FBI had been spurred to act on the │
│ basis of something other than a junior campaign aide's loose lips. │
│ We also know that among the Justice Department's stated reasons for not complying with the Nunes │
│ subpoena was its worry that to do so might damage international relationships. This suggests the "source" │
│ may be overseas, have ties to foreign intelligence, or both. That's notable, given the highly suspicious role │
│ foreigners have played in this escapade. It was an Australian diplomat who reported the Papadopoulos │
│ conversation. Dossier author Christopher Steele is British, used to work for MI6, and retains ties to that spy │
│ agency as well as to a network of former spooks. It was a former British diplomat who tipped off Sen. John │
│ McCain to the dossier. How this "top secret" source fits into this puzzle could matter deeply. │
│ I believe I know the name of the informant, but my intelligence sources did not provide it to me and refuse to │
│ confirm it. It would therefore be irresponsible to publish it. But what is clear is that we've barely scratched │
│ the surface of the FBI's 2016 behavior, and the country will never get the straight story until President │
│ Trump moves to declassify everything possible. It's time to rip off the Band-Aid. │
│ Correction │
│ The FBI briefed House Intelligence Committee members about a top-secret intelligence source but did not │
│ allow them to see documents. An earlier version of this article misstated this. │

│ It makes no difference how honorable he is. His investigation is tainted by the bias that │

│ Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation may face a serious legal obstacle: It is tainted by │
│ antecedent political bias. The June 14 report from Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department's │
│ inspector general, unearthed a pattern of anti-Trump bias by high-ranking officials at the Federal │
│ Bureau of Investigation. Some of their communications, the report says, were "not only indicative of a │
│ biased state of mind but imply a willingness to take action to impact a presidential candidate's electoral │
│ prospects." Although Mr. Horowitz could not definitively ascertain whether this bias "directly │
│ affected" specific FBI actions in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, it nonetheless affects the │
│ legality of the Trump-Russia collusion inquiry, code-named Crossfire Hurricane. │
│ Crossfire was launched only months before the 2016 election. Its FBI progenitors—the same ones who │
│ had investigated Mrs. Clinton—deployed at least one informant to probe Trump campaign advisers, │
│ obtained Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court wiretap warrants, issued national security letters to │
│ gather records, and unmasked the identities of campaign officials who were surveilled. They also │
│ repeatedly leaked investigative information. │
│ Mr. Horowitz is separately scrutinizing Crossfire and isn't expected to finish for months. But the │
│ current report reveals that FBI officials displayed not merely an appearance of bias against Donald │
│ Trump, but animus bordering on hatred. Peter Strzok, who led both the Clinton and Trump │
│ investigations, confidently assuaged a colleague's fear that Mr. Trump would become president: "No │
│ he won't. We'll stop it." An unnamed FBI lawyer assigned to Crossfire told a colleague he was │
│ "devastated" and "numb" after Mr. Trump won, while declaring to another FBI attorney: "Viva le │
│ resistance." │
│ The report highlights the FBI's failure to act promptly upon discovering that Anthony Weiner's laptop │
│ contained thousands of Mrs. Clinton's emails. Investigators justified the delay by citing the "higher │
│ priority" of Crossfire. But Mr. Horowitz writes: "We did not have confidence that Strzok's decision to │
│ prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on [the] investigative lead discovered on the │
│ Weiner laptop was free from bias." │
│ Similarly, although Mr. Horowitz found no evidence that then-FBI Director James Comey was trying │
│ to influence the election, Mr. Comey did make decisions based on political considerations. He told the │
│ inspector general that his election-eve decision to reopen the Clinton email investigation was motivated │
│ by a desire to protect her assumed presidency's legitimacy. │
│ The inspector general wrote that Mr. Strzok's text messages "created the appearance that investigative │
│ decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations." The report adds, importantly, that "most │
│ of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the Russia investigation." Given how biases │
│ ineluctably shape behavior, these facts create a strong inference that by squelching the Clinton │
│ investigation and building a narrative of Trump-Russia collusion, a group of government officials │
│ sought to bolster Mrs. Clinton's electoral chances and, if the unthinkable happened, obtain an insurance │
│ policy to cripple the Trump administration with accusations of illegitimacy. │
│ What does this have to do with Mr. Mueller, who was appointed in May 2017 after President Trump │
│ fired Mr. Comey? The inspector general concludes that the pervasive bias "cast a cloud over the FBI │
│ investigations to which these employees were assigned," including Crossfire. And if Crossfire was │
│ politically motivated, then its culmination, the appointment of a special counsel, inherited the taint. All │
│ special-counsel activities—investigations, plea deals, subpoenas, reports, indictments and │
│ convictions—are fruit of a poisonous tree, byproducts of a violation of due process. That Mr. Mueller │
│ and his staff had nothing to do with Crossfire's origin offers no cure. │
│ When the government deprives a person of life, liberty or property, it is required to use fundamentally │
│ fair processes. The Supreme Court has made clear that when governmental action "shocks the │
│ conscience," it violates due process. Such conduct includes investigative or prosecutorial efforts that │
│ appear, under the totality of the circumstances, to be motivated by corruption, bias or entrapment. │
│ In U.S. v. Russell (1973), the justices observed: "We may someday be presented with a situation in │
│ which the conduct of law enforcement agents is so outrageous that due process principles would │
│ absolutely bar the government from invoking judicial processes to obtain a conviction." It didn't take │
│ long. In Blackledge v. Perry (1974), the court concluded that due process was offended by a │
│ prosecutor's "realistic likelihood of 'vindictiveness' " that tainted the "very initiation of proceedings." │
│ In Young v. U.S. ex rel. Vuitton (1987), the justices held that because prosecutors have "power to │
│ employ the full machinery of the state in scrutinizing any given individual. . . we must have assurance │
│ that those who would wield this power will be guided solely by their sense of public responsibility for │
│ the attainment of justice." Prosecutors must be "disinterested" and make "dispassionate assessments," │
│ free from any personal bias. │
│ In Williams v. Pennsylvania (2016), the court held that a state judge's potential bias violated due │
│ process because he had played a role, a quarter-century earlier, in prosecuting the death-row inmate │
│ whose habeas corpus petition he was hearing. The passage of time and involvement of others do not │
│ vitiate the taint but heighten "the need for objective rules preventing the operation of bias that might │
│ otherwise be obscured," the justices wrote. A single biased individual "might still have an influence │
│ that, while not so visible . . . is nevertheless significant." │
│ In addition to the numerous anti-Trump messages uncovered by the inspector general, there is a strong │
│ circumstantial case—including personnel, timing, methods and the absence of evidence—that Crossfire │
│ was initiated for political, not national-security, purposes. │
│ It was initiated in defiance of a longstanding Justice Department presumption against investigating │
│ campaigns in an election year. And while impartiality is always required, a 2012 memo by then- │
│ Attorney General Eric Holder emphasizes that impartiality is "particularly important in an election │
│ year," and "politics must play no role in the decisions of federal prosecutors or investigators regarding │
│ any investigations. . . . Law enforcement officers and prosecutors may never select the timing of │
│ investigative steps or criminal charges for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of │
│ giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party." │
│ Strong evidence of a crime can overcome this policy, as was the case with the bureau's investigation of │
│ Mrs. Clinton's private email server, which began more than a year before the 2016 election. But │
│ Crossfire was not a criminal investigation. It was a counterintelligence investigation predicated on the │
│ notion that Russia could be colluding with the Trump campaign. There appears to have been no │
│ discernible evidence of Trump-Russia collusion at the time Crossfire was launched, further reinforcing │
│ the notion that it was initiated "for the purpose" of affecting the presidential election. │
│ The chief evidence of collusion is the hacking of the Democratic National Committee's servers. But │
│ nothing in the public record suggests the Trump campaign aided that effort. The collusion narrative │
│ therefore hinges on the more generic assertion that Russia aimed to help Mr. Trump's election, and that │
│ the Trump campaign reciprocated by embracing pro-Russian policies. Yet despite massive surveillance │
│ and investigation, there's still no public evidence of any such exchange—only that Russia attempted to │
│ sow political discord by undermining Mrs. Clinton and to a lesser extent Mr. Trump. │
│ Some members of the Trump team interacted with Russians and advocated dovish policies. But so did │
│ numerous American political and academic elites, including many Clinton advisers. Presidential │
│ campaigns routinely seek opposition research and interact with foreign powers. The Clinton campaign │
│ funded the Steele dossier, whose British author paid Russians to dish anti-Trump dirt. The Podesta │
│ Group, led by the brother of Mrs. Clinton's campaign chairman, received millions lobbying for │
│ Russia's largest baffl( and the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, both with deep Kremlin ties. The │
│ Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton took millions from Kremlin-connected businesses. │
│ No evidence has emerged of Trump-Russia collusion, and Mr. Mueller has yet to bring collusion- │
│ related charges against anyone. Evidence suggests one of his targets, George Papadopoulos, was lured │
│ to London, plied with the prospect of Russian information damaging to Mrs. Clinton, and taken to │
│ dinner, where he drunkenly bragged that he'd heard about such dirt but never seen it. These │
│ circumstances not only fail to suggest Mr. Papadopoulos committed a crime, they reek of entrapment. │
│ The source of this information, former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, admits Mr. │
│ Papadopolous never mentioned emails, destroying any reasonable inference of a connection between │
│ the DNC hack and the Trump campaign. │
│ Crossfire's progenitors thus ignored an obvious question: If Russia promised unspecified dirt on Mrs. │
│ Clinton but never delivered it, how would that amount to collusion with the Trump campaign? If │
│ anything, such behavior suggests an attempt to entice and potentially embarrass Mr. Trump by │
│ dangling the prospect of compromising information and getting his aides to jump at it. │
│ Given the paucity of evidence, it's staggering that the FBI would initiate a counterintelligence │
│ investigation, led by politically biased staff, amid a presidential campaign. The aggressive methods and │
│ subsequent leaking only strengthen that conclusion. If the FBI sincerely believed Trump associates │
│ were Russian targets or agents, the proper response would have been to inform Mr. Trump so that he │
│ could protect his campaign and the country. │
│ Mr. Trump's critics argue that the claim of political bias is belied by the fact that Crossfire was not │
│ leaked before the election. In fact, there were vigorous, successful pre-election efforts to publicize the │
│ Trump-Russia collusion narrative. Shortly after Crossfire's launch, CIA Director John Brennan and Mr. │
│ Comey briefed Congress, triggering predictable leaking. Christopher Steele and his patrons embarked │
│ on a media roadshow, making their dossier something of an open secret in Washington. │
│ On Aug. 29, 2016, the New York Times published a letter to Mr. Comey from Senate Minority Leader │
│ Harry Reid, saying he'd learned of "evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government │
│ and Donald Trump's presidential campaign," which had "employed a number of individuals with │
│ significant and disturbing ties to Russia and the Kremlin." On Aug. 30, the ranking Democratic │
│ members of four House committees wrote a public letter to Mr. Comey requesting "that the FBI assess │
│ whether connections between Trump campaign officials and Russian interests" may have contributed │
│ to the DNC hack so as "to interfere with the U.S. presidential election." On Sept. 23, Yahoo News's │
│ Michael Isikoff reported the Hill briefings and the Steele dossier's allegations regarding Carter Page. │
│ On Oct. 30, Harry Reid again publicly wrote Mr. Comey: "In my communications with you and other │
│ top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive │
│ information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian │
│ government." │
│ That these leaking efforts failed to prevent Mr. Trump's victory, or that Mr. Comey's ham-fisted │
│ interventions might have also hurt Mrs. Clinton's electoral prospects, does not diminish the legal │
│ significance of the anti-Trump bias shown by government officials. │
│ The totality of the circumstances creates the appearance that Crossfire was politically motivated. Since │
│ an attempt by federal law enforcement to influence a presidential election "shocks the conscience," any │
│ prosecutorial effort derived from such an outrageous abuse of power must be suppressed. The public │
│ will learn more once the inspector general finishes his investigation into Crossfire's genesis. But given │
│ what is now known, due process demands, at a minimum, that the special counsel's activity be paused. │
│ Those affected by Mr. Mueller's investigation could litigate such an argument in court. One would │
│ hope, however, that given the facts either Mr. Mueller himself or Deputy Attorney General Rod │
│ Rosenstein would do it first. │

│ NEW YORK. The invasion of Europe has begun. Steve Bannon, 65, the American far-right guru who was │
│ Donald Trump's right-hand man in the White House — but let go last summer following the racist │
│ violence in Charlottesville — is preparing to march on Brussels. Launching, he told the Daily Beast │

│ elections which will be held in spring 2019. │
│ Objective: to compete with George Soros, the American billionaire of Hungarian origin, benefactor of the │
│ Democratic party, who since 1984 with his Open Society has spent at least $32 billion in support of │
│ NGOs dealing with human rights. And for this he became the bogeyman of the populist right, accused of │
│ plots of all kinds: including that of wanting to replace Italians with immigrants in order to have labour at │
│ low cost. A mantra repeated in the past on Twitter also by the current Minister of the Interior Matteo │
│ Salvini. │
│ The ambition of Steve Bannon, former director of the alt-right American site Breitbart — which in the │
│ European campaign preceded him since the platform had already opened bureaux in London and Rome │
│ — is therefore to become the coordinator of the one great "populist international" of which he has long │
│ since been dreaming. │
│ The Movement, in fact, intends to function as an extreme right-wing think tank: a source of strategic │
│ advice to channel the not-so-politically structured discontent of the most extreme European movements. │
│ Analysing data and giving strategic advice. But also by raising funds and channeling funding. │
│ The aim is to create a populist alliance, a sort of "super group" that if victorious can conquer up to a third │
│ of the European Parliament in the elections next May. │
│ Indeed — putting the common policy of the Old Continent in the hands of Bannon and his own. The │
│ American strategist is very attached to the Freedom Caucus — the extreme right of the US Congress — │
│ and in 2014 he was at the top of the Cambridge Analytica company, which in 2016 used data stolen from │
│ Facebook to try to influence the presidential election from which Donald Trump emerged victor. It is not │
│ a mystery that for a long time he courts nationalists of the right from East to West. And he has already │
│ met, among others, the Hungarian Orban, the French Marine Le Pen and the former leader of the British │
│ separatists Nigel Farage. The latter reappeared, coincidentally, on Friday in Pennsylvania, USA, to a │
│ fundraiser in favor of the Republican congressman Lou Barletta. Without forgetting the Italians of Lega │
│ and 5 stars. Of them, he said: "If it works in Italy, we can import the model anywhere". │
│ The Movement, which for now will count on a staff of 10 people, will be fully operational in 2019. In │
│ short, after the American midterm elections, where Bannon is fighting to influence the primaries │
│ supporting candidates potentially able to undermine the prospects of Republican establishment. But in the │
│ future the former spin doctor says he wants to spend more and more time in Europe. Also because the │
│ relationships with Trump have worsened after the revelations he made to Michael Wolff and published in │
│ the scandal book "Fire and Fury". "Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Paradise," Bannon says now │
│ paraphrasing the Satan of one of his favorite books, John Milton's Lost Paradise. Hell in this case would │

│ This much we know - the Fall elections are shaping up to be a referendum on the most divisive │
│ American President in memory. The battle for potential Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh's │
│ nomination this fall will only amplify the polarity of the political debate that is already deeply │
│ overwrought on both sides. The rising tide of pressure on Donald Trump from the Mueller investigation │
│ shows no sign of ebbing. │
│ Unless the underlying political dynamics are disrupted, the outcomes of these unprecedented events will │
│ still leave us with the same unsatisfactory two front battlefield of the 2016 Presidential election. │
│ Watching these unrelenting, compounding events since our discussion in May, I am guessing we are all │
│ asking the same question: now what? For the 48 percent of Americans who believe Donald Trump │
│ should not be in the White House, perhaps we too want our own "chaos" candidate in 2020? │
│ Should Trump run again, this could be a "break glass" moment for the majority of Americans who don't │
│ support him. Do we want to break the genteel precedents of two parties running their ceremonious and │
│ seemingly illogical nominating process to select a candidate? (Why do Iowa and New Hampshire play │
│ such outsized roles? What kind of small-d democratic process relies on superdelegates?) The system │
│ failed in 2016, with both parties producing terribly flawed candidates in a race to the bottom. We need to │
│ build a back-up plan in the event the system fails again. │
│ It's possible, of course, that we won't need a third-party candidate. Trump could decide not to run for │
│ whatever reason. The Democrats could nominate a winning 2020 candidate. I am not willing to take │
│ those bets. │
│ The ideal candidate for a new third party is someone who is widely perceived to be that rare combination │
│ of both good and great. We are looking for a proven leader of men and women, someone with clear, │
│ democratic — and moral — values that reflect the best of America, not our worst. We know people like this │
│ on the national stage now. │
│ As a thought experiment, consider the possibilities of a ticket outside the partisan lanes and imagine the │
│ chemistry of radical combinations: Biden/Romney? Bill Gates/Hogan? Bloomberg/Haley? Howard │
│ Schultz/Bob Corker? Sandberg/Kasich? │
│ As we have discussed narrow path to electing the first president outside the two major party primary │
│ system in 168 years is more navigable than most think. Heading into 2020, converging trends in │
│ American's demands for a third party (a historic high of 61%), disapproval of Donald Trump holding │
│ steady above 50%, and the increasingly leftward drift of the Democratic Party suggest that electorate may │
│ be susceptible to merits of a new centrist party. Cynics will say that the structural impediments of ballot │
│ and presidential debate access, the overwhelming advantages of legacy parties' fundraising and voter │
│ turn-out operations preordain failure, but they're wrong; the legal and logistical hurdles are amenable to a │
│ combination of lawyering and resources. The bigger, more consequential factors come in terms of │
│ candidate quality and policy. I believe a candidate with five specific characteristics including a unique — │
│ and purposefully non-specific - policy agenda could limbo a win. │
│ • This is what I think a successful third-party candidate looks like; a dream third party ticket would │
│ start off with enough name ID to be an instant contender. Building the name ID to run nationally is │
│ just too long and expensive of a process to accomplish in the 28 months until the next presidential │
│ election. We can't beat a celebrity without some celebrity of our own, whether from politics, │
│ sports, business, or entertainment. Instantaneous name ID is so crucial because the candidate must │
│ start out in striking distance in any three-way poll against Trump and a fill-in-the-blank │
│ Democratic flavor-of-the day candidate. The media and political class will predetermine │
│ irrelevance otherwise. │
│ • A Democrat-leaning candidate would have to top the ideal third-party ticket. We need someone │
│ with a shot at snaking a plurality of the vote in the blue states Hillary Clinton won (227 electoral │
│ votes), but moderate enough to win a plurality in some combination of Trump states like Florida, │
│ Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (another 119 votes). The right candidate may even to put │
│ North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana in play for a centrist bi-partisan ticket as well (totaling an electoral │
│ sweep of 464 elector votes). A right leaning candidate would meet the same fate as a primary │
│ challenger to Trump — for all intents and purposes we need to assume that 36% of voters won't be │
│ cleaved from Trump under any circumstances and run to win around them. The deep red states │
│ would be off the table entirely. │
│ • With the Trump reality show airing daily, voters are now expecting to take their politics with a side │
│ of entertainment. Heretofore, ratings will matter no matter how dry the policy topic. Surely │
│ Stephen Colbert would gladly sacrifice his executive producer Chris Licht to produce a daily │
│ comedic segment of this dream candidate interviewing Americans in truck stops and McDonald's │
│ across the country. A few of the "Saturday Night Live" script writers could certainly be enticed to │
│ disguise serious debates as informative amusement. Any candidate must be committed to a near │
│ daily cadence of high quality, compelling video production. It will be especially crucial to keep │
│ the voters' attention during what will be a raucous Democratic primary season. Rules governing │
│ access to the general election debate stage dictate that a candidate enjoy support of at least 15% of │
│ voters in the months leading up to the general election. │
│ • This dream candidate would pledge to serve only four years and address all of the U.S.'s ticking │
│ time bombs like Social Security, Medicare, health care reform, climate change, money in politics, │
│ gerrymandering, and infrastructure investment in a single term. This one-and-done term decouples │
│ our candidate from the usual politics and gives them the power of promise and deliver decisive │
│ action. A four-year term pledge ensures governance independent of campaign finance concerns and │
│ narrow special interests inherent to winning re-election. This "fix-it" ticket would promise to force │
│ decisions on all the underlying structural policy matters damaging America's long-term prospects │
│ and distorting our democracy. No more kicking the can down the road. │
│ • This candidate should also pledge to push for laws passed that reflect the will of simple majorities │
│ in Congress. Congress now only allows bills to move forward when a "majority of a majority" │
│ supports the policy and on many levels seems fundamentally broken. This third-party president │
│ could force votes based on a transparent reading of where the votes lie via coalition building. The │
│ Senate filibuster power will present a high hurdle, but a third-party candidate would be a de facto │
│ disruptor of the two-party system. Party discipline could well break down, and moderates in both │
│ parties could form a powerful, decisive block willing to work with the new President. The policies │
│ passed into law may not be ideal for either Democrats or Republicans, but for the major agenda │
│ items that must be addressed for America's long-term health, an imperfect fix that corrects course │
│ is better than those that now have us hurtling toward national bankruptcy. │
│ And if no candidate secures 270 electoral votes in 2020? The House of Representatives would choose the │
│ next president. In 2016, reports suggested Michael Bloomberg declined to run on a third-party ticket for │
│ fear of splitting support from Hillary Clinton and throwing the election to a GOP-controlled House of │
│ Representatives who would then vote to select the president. The fear was the GOP controlled House │
│ would have just elected Trump. │
│ Would Democratic control of the House mean that the House would pick an alternative to Trump as │
│ president? Each state delegation has a single vote in selecting a president and it is the incoming Congress │
│ - the class elected in 2020 that would decide the election. But no matter which party has the speaker's │
│ chair, the GOP would almost certainly have the upper hand in the majority of state delegations controlled. │
│ Would the state delegations pick a president based on party majority control of the delegation, the │
│ winner of the popular vote in each state or their own calculations as to who is best for America? │
│ Precedent suggests that delegations use secret ballots, which means individual lawmakers may vote their │
│ consciences. │
│ If we recruit this ideal candidate; threading the needle of name ID, a center-left bent, a TV- savvy │

│ The `Deplorables' Called Into Battle Again │
│ As midterms near, President Trump's former political guru Steve Bannon rallies the │
│ troops │
│ Gerald F. SeibAug. 27, 2018 9:25 a.m. ET │
│ By │
│ Gerald F. Seib │
│ Steve Bannon doesn't do subtle. So it's no surprise that there's nothing subtle about the new movie President │
│ Trump's │
│ onetime political guru has produced to energize the Trump base for this year's midterm elections. │
│ It's entitled "Trump at War," and it's an hour and 15 minutes of pure Trumpian adrenaline. It opens with a series │
│ of shots │
│ of Trump supporters being attacked by angry opponents, shifts to outtakes of Trump supporters proudly accepting │
│ the │
│ "deplorables" label bestowed by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, runs through a long series │
│ of │
│ angry ripostes at Trump detractors and praise of administration policy moves, and closes with dire warnings of │
│ the need to │
│ vote for Republicans in 2018 to head off efforts by liberals to impeach the president. │
│ Mr. Bannon previewed the film for some Republican supporters in Dallas recently, but the big premiere is │
│ scheduled for │
│ Sept. 9—chosen because it is the second anniversary of the speech in which Mrs. Clinton used the "basket of │
│ deplorables" │
│ phrase. The location? The very club in Manhattan where Mrs. Clinton made the speech, which has been rented for │
│ the │
│ occasion. │
│ Aside from what they say about Mr. Bannon as a political provocateur, the film and its unveiling also reveal a │
│ lot about │
│ how people in the president's circle increasingly see this year's midterm election: Its importance is growing │
│ every day; │
│ Republican success starts with turning out core Trump supporters; and the best way to motivate them is by │
│ brandishing the │
│ fear of impeachment proceedings if Democrats win control of Congress. │
│ Steve Bannon believes the specter of impeachment will motivate mainstream Republicans as well as core Trump │
│ backers. Photo: J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press │
│ "This is all grass roots," Mr. Bannon says. "It's 2016 all over again...This is Trump's first re-election." │
│ The political calculus behind such thinking is pretty simple: In 19 months as president, Mr. Trump has hardened │
│ his grip │
│ on his base of supporters and the GOP overall, but has done little to expand that base. │
│ Meanwhile, as the Labor Day kickoff of the fall campaign approaches, Republicans face a Democratic party whose │
│ activists appear exceptionally motivated—to campaign, donate money and turn out in November. │
│ Republicans need something to match that fervor. That something is the Trump base—and the best motivating tools │
│ are │
│ anger and fear. │
│ In this case, that means specifically the fear that Special Counsel Robert Mueller, New York prosecutors and a │
│ Democratic Congress will conspire to kick Mr. Trump out of office. That's why Republicans are talking about the │
│ specter │
│ of impeachment, not Democrats. Democrats know impeachment talk is a surefire way to motivate the other side. │
│ But there's a problem in this GOP formula: A motivated Trump base is necessary for Republicans to head off │
│ disaster in │
│ November, but it's not sufficient, at least not if Democrats remain as energized as they appear today. The Trump │
│ base has │
│ to be married with more mainstream Republicans—the kind hardcore activists refer to as RIN0s, or "Republicans In │
│ Name Only"—and with some independent voters. │
│ Right now, independent voters are hard to read. Their sentiments have been shifting around a lot in Wall Street │
│ Journal/NBC News polling in recent months. As a general rule, they have a low regard for Mr. Trump personally and │
│ appear weary of the atmosphere of constant crisis around him. But the polling also indicates they increasingly │
│ like how │
│ Republicans are handling the economy, appreciate the GOP tax cut and think the party is changing the way things │
│ work in │
│ Washington. │
│ That leaves moderate Republicans, of whom Mr. Bannon says simply: "We need RINOs." │
│ =,== │
│ Supporters of President Trump cheer before a rally in Lewis Center, Ohio, earlier this month. Photo: Carolyn │
│ Kaster/Associated Press │
│ The Bannon calculation is that the specter of impeachment will motivate these soft Republicans as well as core │
│ Trump │
│ backers. More conventional Republicans may be disdainful of Mr. Trump personally, but they also think the tax │
│ cuts, │
│ deregulatory policies and judicial nominations they like are imperiled if he goes down. │
│ So, impeachment-scare talk, Mr. Bannon is calculating, is effective for RINOS too, simply for different reasons. │
│ For the │
│ Trump base, impeachment talk is a source of outrage. Soft Republicans dislike it for less emotional, more │
│ practical │
│ reasons. │
│ All this means Republican candidates have a dual mission right now: Keep motivating those base Trump voters, who │
│ want │
│ full-throated defenses of the president and odes to his hard-line immigration policies, while also luring out to │
│ the polls │
│ mainstream Republicans and independents who dislike the president but like lower taxes and less regulation. │
│ And if political advertising is any indication, candidates appear to be embracing both messages with nearly equal │
│ fervor. │
│ Data compiled by CMAG Kantar Media on all political ads run so far this year show that a pro-Trump message is the │
│ most common element of GOP ads. Next in line? Mentions of the tax cut Republicans pushed through Congress last │
│ year. │

│ Subject: Alex Acosta update I Power Line │
│ https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/12/alex-acosta-update.php │
│ Alex Acosta update │
│ Earlier this week, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein bought his way out of a lawsuit that would have │
│ given some of his victims the opportunity to testify about his predatory and criminal │
│ conduct. Victims never got that opportunity when Epstein faced criminal charges, because │
│ Alex Acosta___then the lead prosecutor, now the Secretary of Labor___let Epstein off with │
│ a ridiculously lenient sentence. Despite having committed hideous sex offenses with dozens │
│ of minors, Epstein received a sentence of 13 months in jail, during which he was often free │
│ during the day. │
│ Epstein's decision to buy his out of the civil lawsuit, one that he had the nerve to initiate, │
│ benefits Acosta. The trial would have provided non-stop headlines, coupled with frequent │
│ references to the sweetheart deal Acosta gave him. As Randy Schultz puts it, the trial would │
│ have been the occasion for a long overdue public shaming of Acosta. Now, he avoids this │
│ consequence. │
│ But this doesn't mean Acosta is out of the woods. He faces calls for his ouster from the │
│ Trump cabinet. │
│ Some calls are from the usual suspects. Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has │
│ written a piece so obnoxious that it almost makes me want to see Acosta ride out the storm. │
│ But some conservatives are also advocating Acosta's departure. Concerned Women for │
│ America is a stalwart conservative organization. It describes itself, accurately, as "focus[ed] │
│ on seven core issues: the family, the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, education, │
│ sexual exploitation, national sovereignty, and support for Israel." (Emphasis added) │
│ > │
│ Its leader, Penny Nance, has called for Acosta's resignation. Noting that labor trafficking, │
│ which the Labor Department combats, is often conjoined with sex trafficking, Nance says │
│ that President Trump would not have nominated Acosta if reports fully describing Acosta's │
│ conduct in the Epstein case had emerged earlier. │
│ Sen. Ben Sasse has also weighed in. He sent a letter to the Justice Department asking it to │
│ investigate its treatment of Epstein, including the fact that the plea deal ensured that victims │
│ of the pervert would be denied the ability to comment on or object to the leniency of his │
│ sentence. Sasse is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Oversight, │
│ Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts. │
│ Sen. Marco Rubio, a longtime supporter of Acosta, says it would be "very troubling" if │
│ political influence led to a light sentence for Epstein. In Rubio's view, and that of every │
│ rational person, Epstein "should have been in jail for a long time." Rubio added, however, │
│ that he will reserve judgment until he hears Acosta's side. │
│ That's fair. But so far, Acosta has provided no real defense for letting Epstein off so lightly. │
│ In public, at least, he is standing by his argument that the deal was a reasonable one and that │
│ this is old news. │
│ Previously, Acosta had a different defense. He cited "a year-long assault on the prosecution │
│ and the prosecutors" by "an army of legal superstars" who represented Epstein. This │
│ allegedly included "defense counsel investigat[ing] individual prosecutors and their families, │
│ looking for personal peccadilloes that may provide a basis for disqualification." In this │
│ account, the deal was made to relieve the pressure, while still getting a conviction. │
│ Acosta could hardly assert this explanation____i.e., that he wimped out___while seeking a │
│ cabinet position with the expectation of being appointed to more exalted jobs in the future. │
│ Nor is the explanation particularly plausible. Acosta isn't the first prosecutor to face a │
│ scorched earth defense. Ask Ken Starr about this. │
│ I don't doubt that Acosta regarded escaping the wrath of the defense team as a benefit of │
│ reaching the plea deal. But I don't believe this was incentive enough to cause him, in effect, │
│ to throw the case. │
│ What was the true incentive? As I wrote when this story broke, I think it was the same │
│ incentive that explains much of his conduct in public life___Acosta's desire to accommodate │
│ people he thinks can help him down the road. │
│ Which people? Probably the lawyers at Kirkland and Ellis, where Acosta had once worked. │
│ Epstein enlisted Ken Starr* and Jay Lefkowitz, both of Kirkland, for his defense team. │
│ Acosta reportedly worked out the terms of his surrender with Lefkowitz, a former colleague, │
│ at a meeting in a location far away from the prosecutor's office. │
│ The location of the meeting is itself suspicious. Prosecutors and other law enforcement │
│ officials normally demand that those seeking a deal come to them. │
│ The fact that Acosta didn't is another sign___if one were needed___that this was a │
│ capitulation. It also casts further doubt on the claim that Acosta was capitulating for the │
│ purpose of sparing the folks who worked with him in the prosecutor's office. │
│ The key point, though, is that Ken Starr and Jay Lefkowitz were power players in │
│ Washington___men who might help Acosta down the road. │
│ Readers will be quite familiar with Starr's background. Lefkowitz was director of cabinet │
│ affairs and deputy executive secretary to the domestic policy council under President George │
│ H.W. Bush. Under President George W. Bush, Lefkowitz served as general counsel in the │
│ Office of Management and Budget and later as deputy director of domestic policy at the │
│ White House. │
│ Accommodating such influential figures must have seemed like a good career move. Having │
│ Starr and Lefkowitz on his side might help Acosta get a judgeship, a cabinet appointment, or │
│ a high-paying job back at Kirkland and Ellis. │
│ I'm speculating, of course. But my speculation finds support in Acosta's practice of │
│ accommodating the powerful. │
│ Much of that accommodation is of Democrats. Indeed, at the time Acosta was working in │
│ Miami as a U.S. Attorney, he had alienated some Republicans by such accommodation │
│ while at the Department of Justice. Some say he was on the verge of being fired when │
│ Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez parachuted him to Miami. The Epstein settlement was a │
│ way for Acosta to shore up his standing with some influential Republicans. │
│ Will Acosta be able to survive the current scandal? I don't have a clear sense about this yet. │
│ But President Trump, who isn't bashful about sacking cabinet members, may come to │
│ believe (if he doesn't now) that it's disadvantageous to have a cabinet member who sold out │
│ teenage victims of sexual abuse, especially when the sell-out benefited an ultra-wealthy │
│ serial offender. │
│ * Some on the left are trying to make something or the fact that Starr, who had investigated │
│ Bill Clinton in connection with sexual misconduct, later defended Epstein, a pervert. This is │
│ silly. │
│ In both instances, Starr was doing his job as a lawyer. Perverts are entitled to a defense and │
│ there is nothing hypocritical about investigating Bill Clinton's misconduct when that was │
│ Starr's job and later joining the team that was defending Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Acosta, by contrast, was on the team seeking justice for Epstein and for his victims. He gave │
│ up this quest for reasons that can't be defended. │

│ NEW YORK — The Sidney Hillman Foundation announced Tuesday winners of the 69th annual │
│ Hillman Prizes, recognizing a Reuters expose of slum-like living conditions on U.S military │
│ bases, the Miami Herald's investigation into Labor Secretary Alex Acosta's sweetheart deal with │
│ serial sex abuser, Jeffrey Epstein, and NBC News and MSNBC's reporting on the Trump │
│ Administration's family separation policy, among other standout reporting in service of the │
│ common good. │
│ Hannah Dreier of ProPublica won a Hillman Prize for reporting that showed how the │
│ government's bungled crackdown on MS-13 has torn apart the lives of Latino immigrants. The │
│ Atlantic's Adam Serwer, who has emerged as a defining voice of the Trump era, won for his │
│ essays on racism and Trump's political movement, and Anna Clark won for her book on the │
│ Flint water crisis. │
│ This year's prizes were judged by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, the New Yorker's Jelani Cobb, │
│ Reuters' Alb( Freedman, the New Yorker's Hendrik Hertzberg, the American Prospect's Harold │
│ Meyerson and The Nation's Katrina vanden Heuvel. │
│ The 2019 winners of the Hillman Prizes are: │
│ • Newspaper — Miami Herald, Julie K. Brown and Emily Michot: Perversion of Justice │
│ • Magazine — ProPublica with New York magazine, Newsday, This American Life, New │
│ York Times Magazine, Hannah Dreier: Trapped in Gangland │
│ • Web — Reuters, Joshua Schneyer, Michael Pell, Andrea Januta, Deborah Nelson: │
│ Ambushed at Home │
│ • Broadcast — NBC News and MSNBC, Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley: Torn Apart: │
│ Crisis at the Border │
│ • Opinion & Analysis — Adam Serwer, The Atlantic │
│ • Book — Anna Clark: The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban │
│ Tragedy, Metropolitan Books │
│ Reporting by this year's prize winners has had significant positive impact, including: │
│ • Reversal of the Trump administration's "Zero Tolerance" family separation policy │
│ • Three federal investigations, new legislation, widespread repairs, and a $386 million │
│ emergency program to inspect military housing for hazards │
│ • The exposure of pervasive bias and negligence by Long Island police, leading to federal │
│ and local investigations and reforms │
│ This year's honorees follow in the trailblazing tradition of past winners ranging from Murray │
│ Kempton in 1950 for his articles on labor in the south and Edward R. Murrow in 1954 for his │
│ critical reports on civil liberties and Joseph McCarthy at the height of the Red Scare; to 2017 │
│ newspaper winner, David Fahrenthold, for exposing Donald Trump's sexual harassment and │
│ mismanagement of his foundation. │
│ The Hillman Prizes are open to journalists and subjects globally for any work widely accessible │
│ to a U.S. audience. Winners will be awarded a $5,000 prize at the Hillman Foundation's annual │
│ ceremony in New York City on May 7. │
│ "In a time when this country's highest powers have taken it as their business to demean the │
│ work of journalists, it is particularly significant for us to honor those who have taken up the │
│ tools of journalism to challenge corrupt power wherever it may reside," said Hillman judge Ta- │
│ Nehisi Coates. │
│ In 2011, the Sidney Hillman Foundation inaugurated the Canadian Hillman Prize. This year's │
│ winners, Harvey Cashore, Bob McKeown and Kimberly Ivany of CBC's The Fifth Estate, won for │
│ their sweeping investigation into the research and regulatory failures that have put millions of │
│ children at risk on their way to and from school each day. Their reporting exposed fraudulent │
│ science behind Transport Canada's seminal seatbelt study and led the Transport Minister to │
│ form a task force with the provinces to look at implementing seatbelts on school buses across │
│ the country. │
│ The Hillman Foundation announced Monday that CUNY professor and historian, Joshua B. │
│ Freeman, is the recipient of its 2019 Sol Stetin Award for Labor History. Freeman has written │
│ extensively about the history of labor, industry, modern America, and New York City. The │
│ Hillman Foundation established the award in 2005 to honor a labor historian who has made │
│ significant contribution to the field, researching and telling the stories of working peoples' lives. │
│ Since 1950, the Hillman's Prizes for Journalism honor the legacy of Sidney Hillman, an │
│ immigrant who dedicated his life to a "better America." Hillman believed that a free press was │
│ essential to a fair and equal society. The Sidney Hillman Foundation has sought to carry on his │
│ legacy by honoring journalists who illuminate the great issues of our times—from the search for │
│ a basis for lasting peace, to the need for better housing, medical care, and employment security │
│ for all people, to the promotion of civil liberties and the battle against discrimination based on │
│ race, nationality, or religion. │

│ German Media Confess to │
│ Underestimating Steve │
│ Bannon; He Is 'As Dangerous │
│ as Ever' │
│ by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.11 Mar 2018 │
│ 0 │
│ As Steve Bannon continues his tour of Europe, energizing the anti- │
│ establishment populist base, the mainstream media cannot help but │
│ admit their admiration for his abilities, despite their dislike of his aims. │
│ In this week's issue, the left-wing German weekly Stern articulates the greatest fear of the European │
│ establishment: that Bannon "could give the fragmented right in Europe a common ideology and rhetoric." │
│ Many thought that the reign of the "Dark Lord" had ended, writes Gernot Kramper, when Steve Bannon left │
│ first the White House and then his role as executive chairman of Breitbart News. It turns out, however, that │
│ Bannon's adversaries had underestimated him, because he is "as dangerous as ever," he confesses. │
│ Kramper cannot conceal his respect for Bannon's ability to move a crowd. He was greeted by "frenetic │
│ applause" in his recent address before France's National Front party, Kramper writes, demonstrating his │
│ "impressive potential," which the writer describes as "dangerous." │
│ In the mind of his audience, Bannon is something of a miracle-worker, Stamper notes, having "done the │
│ impossible" by bringing Donald Trump into the White House. │
│ The reason Bannon is dangerous, Kramper continues, is because he "lays out the political program of a │
│ worldwide right: He has already conquered the USA; now Europe and then the whole world will follow." │
│ "You are part of a worldwide movement that is bigger than France, bigger than Italy, bigger than Hungary, │
│ bigger than all that," Bannon told French populists. │
│ Bannon showed that he "dominates the mood against the 'elites,' the 'establishment' and the 'perverse │
│ system' of greedy corporations and banks, and of course also against the press, which is led around 'like a dog │
│ on the Leash," Stamper writes. │
│ And now he Mr. Bannon setting himself up as an instigator, if not an outright shepherd, of a movement that │
│ crosses borders, languages and parties. │
│ "Bannon is a master of apocalyptic rhetoric," Stamper continues, effortlessly weaving together nationalist │
│ interests with an international populist movement. │
│ The American strategist showed his "true caliber" by expounding modern methods of political freedom │
│ through blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies, Stamper said, leaving many of his hearers behind. │
│ Bannon has demonstrated that if the right wants to rule the future, "it must dominate modern themes and │
│ rhetorically position them," he added. │
│ Aspiring to be far more than an uncle who tells stories to his nephews of how he won the fight for the White │
│ House, Stamper writes, "Bannon wants to become the super godfather of the international right." │
│ Although Bannon often looks a bit disheveled, "he should not be underestimated," the writer warns. Past │
│ business partners attribute impressive "strategic foresight" to the eccentric tactician, saying he was often │
│ "three or four steps ahead" of his opponents in business. Because of his phenomenal memory, his nickname is │
│ "the encyclopedia," Stamper notes with a certain reverence, and in his speeches he will spontaneously cite │
│ "forgotten thinkers, known only to a handful of specialists." │
│ "Bannon brings with him exclusive knowledge of power from the very heart of power," Stamper writes, │
│ which he will bring to bear on Europe's fragmented populist populism. │
│ According to Stamper, Bannon has established his "European headquarters" in Italy, from where he intends to │
│ galvanize European populists. │
│ The Italian political situation is completely to his liking, Stamper declares, with a political landscape │
│ "dominated by populists, right-wing ideologues and the political puppeteer Berlusconi." │

│ Jeffrey and Ghislaine: Notes on New York's Oddest Alliance │
│ <http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2011/03/notes-on-new-yorks-oddest-couple-jeffrey-epstein-and-ghislaine-ma │
│ xwell.html> │
│ by Vicky Ward <http://www.vanityfair.com/contributors/vicky-ward> │
│ March 8, 2011, 2:30 PM │
│ “I’ve got a story idea for you. The rebuilding of Indonesia. Or New Orleans. Or both. Go there. I’ve just been. │
│ You will never think the same way about anything again.” │
│ So spoke not Bill or Melinda Gates, but Ghislaine Maxwell, the 48-year-old woman being written up everywhere at │
│ the moment as the alleged “procurer” of young women for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Epstein, 57, is the financier who spent a year in jail on charges of soliciting prostitutes—and now there is talk │
│ of another investigation because various women, now in their twenties and thirties, have come forward with │
│ allegations that he molested them when they were under-age. The allegations first surfaced in British newspapers, │
│ which have zeroed in on Epstein’s friendship with Prince Andrew, who has recently tried to publicly disassociate │
│ himself from his old pal. │
│ I wrote a piece for Vanity Fair in 2003 called “The Talented Mr. Epstein.” It was largely a business piece that │
│ focused on his mysterious exit from Bear Stearns in 1981, his close relationships with Jimmy Cayne, Les Wexner, │
│ the chairman of Limited Brands, and above all, the man who claimed to be his mentor, Steven Jude Hoffenberg, who │
│ is currently serving a 20-year-jail sentence for bilking investors in Towers Financial out of $450 million. │
│ │
│ The piece alluded to Epstein’s great friendship with Maxwell, and how she introduced him to young women with whom │
│ he had sexual relationships. But, in the end, the story didn’t really go there, focusing instead on the issue │
│ that remains a mystery—how Jeffrey made his money, and how Ghislaine made hers. │
│ │
│ This is not to say I didn’t hear stories about the girls. I did. But, not knowing quite who to believe, I │
│ concentrated on the intriguing financial mystery instead. But now the women have come back. Not the same ones, │
│ different ones. And their stories are bone-chilling. Journalists from England have phoned—and, in one case, │
│ flown—to ask me about Epstein and Maxwell. Who is he? And the British, especially, want to know: Who is she? At │
│ this point, I am so bored of repeating myself to others—it was, after all, my 2003 Vanity Fairstory that really │
│ brought him into the limelight—that I have decided to write about this myself. │
│ │
│ Bizarrely, perhaps, I have gotten to know Jeffrey and Ghislaine far better after my piece than before it. I kept │
│ running into both of them, separately, at parties. Jeffrey is not a social animal so he usually has a couple of │
│ young women with him who stand two feet behind him, as if serving a monarch. “Do they speak?” I remember asking │
│ him once, nodding at his lookalike blondes. He laughed. “Not like you,Vicky,” was his riposte. │
│ │
│ I remembered that when we’d once discussed math—in particular, an isosceles triangle—and I revealed I hadn’t │
│ studied math since I was 14 (such is, or was, the way of the British educational system), I received a package at │
│ home via messenger. It was a book: “Math for idiots.” │
│ │
│ So he is not without humor, even though he doesn’t drink or smoke, and hates restaurants. │
│ │
│ “Jeffrey knows a good deal about most subjects,” newspaper publisher Mort Zuckerman told me last week. He was │
│ certainly preaching to the converted. The truth is, Epstein does know a lot about a lot of things. Just a few │
│ moments in his company and you know this to be true. │
│ │
│ When I saw pictures of Prince Andrew walking in Central Park with Jeffrey, my immediate thought was that │
│ “Andy”—as Jeffrey calls him—is probably asking for help with his role as British trade envoy, or whatever his │
│ strange title is. Because if one thing’s for sure: When it comes to international business, Jeffrey knows what │
│ he’s talking about far more than “Andy” does. Which is why Leon Black, Mort Zuckerman and a few other financiers │
│ hang out with him. │
│ │
│ And Ghislaine? │
│ │
│ Full disclosure: I like her. Most people in New York do. It’s almost impossible not to. │
│ │
│ She is always the most interesting, the most vivacious, the most unusual person in any room. I’ve spent hours │
│ talking to her about the third world at a bar until 2am. She is as passionate as she is knowledgeable. She is │
│ curious. She has spent weeks at the bottom of the ocean, literally going deeper than anyone else. She has sent me │
│ a DVD of the fish there. Her rolodex would blow away almost anyone else’s I can think of—probably even Rupert │
│ Murdochs’. She is very well-read and can talk about most things for hours. She is passionate about Bill Clinton │
│ with whom she is close friends. │
│ │
│ Yet, touchingly, when she had to give a speech at the 40th birthday party of her best friend, Ariadne │
│ Calvo-Platero, (known fondly to her close friends as “the Tennis Goddess”) Ghislaine shook a little with nerves. │
│ When it comes down to things she really cares about—and Ariadne is one of them—Ghislaine shows her vulnerability. │
│ And that vulnerability is key to understanding her friendship with Jeffrey. │
│ │
│ “He saved her,” I remember a close friend of mine telling me. “When her father died, she was a wreck; │
│ inconsolable. And then Jeffrey took her in. She’s never forgotten that—and never will.” │
│ │
│ In many ways, the socially awkward Epstein with his big house, plane, island and ranch was the perfect │
│ replacement for her father, the late Robert Maxwell, newspaper tycoon and criminal. Sure, Jeffrey had his sexual │
│ pecadillos, but then Ghislaine’s father was not without his oddities. After all, it was he who died leaving a │
│ massive “black hole” he’d fraudulently created. To Ghislaine, Jeffrey’s habits may not have seemed that strange. │
│ │
│ In fact, she probably figured, rather like I have, after years of writing about he very rich, that most │
│ successful people in the end either have some weird habit (the late Bruce Wasserstein had the weight issues, the │
│ girl issues, and moved countries to avoid paying tax), or they break the law (Sam Waksal, Martha Stewart.) You │
│ don’t tend to get to the top by being the world’s most balanced human being. Even the folksy Warren Buffett │
│ didn’t quite manage a normal life—whatever that is. He had a second “wife” for many years whose existence he has │
│ been open about. │
│ │
│ So what to make of the current fuss over Ghislaine? I haven’t spoken to her or to Jeffrey, but I suspect that her │
│ loyalty to friends like Bill Clinton will keep her in good stead, in the end, she’ll be out and about as always. │
│ Look at Waksal and Stewart. No one sees them and thinks: criminal. Au contraire. In this city, money makes up for │
│ all sorts of blemishes. │

│ i) Payment or offers of payment for stories, pictures or information, │

│ ii) Editors invoking the public interest to justify payment or offers │

│ Details of the disturbing lifestyle led by Jeffrey Epstein emerged last night after the Daily Mail │
│ uncovered logs of telephone messages left at his Florida child sex den. │
│ Schoolchildren were among hundreds of callers who apparently rang to arrange massages for the │
│ 58-year-old billionaire friend of Prince Andrew, who was later convicted of child sex offences. │
│ Ghislaine Maxwell, 49-year-old daughter of the disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell, is named │
│ in several messages. │
│ Disturbing: Messages were found in Florida home of Jeffrey Epstein, left. The billionaire, 58, is a │
│ friend of Prince Andrew, right │
│ In one left for her or 'Sarah', a caller says she 'doesn't know at what time she must come this night │
│ for the massage'. │
│ Other messages for Epstein, the sources of which are not clear, contain such phrases as: 'She has │
│ females for Mr JE' and 'I have a female for him'. │
│ Another with sickening overtones comes from someone called Jeanluc for Epstein: 'He just did a │
│ good one — 18 years. (She spoke to me and said, "I love Jeffrey")'. │
│ The long list of women is punctuated by regular references to Epstein's celebrity friends including │
│ the business magnate Donald Trump, film producer Harvey Weinstein and magician David │
│ Copperfield, referred to as 'Magic David'. │
│ The sheer volume of phone traffic shows the frequency of Epstein's massages, many of which were │
│ 'erotic' and allegedly involved the abused girls. │
│ The evidence is from documents confiscated by police during a criminal investigation into Epstein │
│ and seen yesterday by the Mail. │
│ <image.png> │
│ <image.png> │
│ Logs: Two of the answer phone messages. Miss Maxwell is asked, right, when a girl should give a │
│ massage │
│ One message left for Epstein reads: 'She is wondering if 2.30 ok cuz she needs to stay in school.' │
│ It was left in February 2005 — the same year that the mother of a 14-year-old girl alerted police to │
│ Epstein's abuse. │
│ Another note shows that 'Colleen' phoned to tell Epstein: 'Going into class — will be out in 45 min. │
│ Last night the Daily Mail tried to contact the people whose names and telephone numbers are │
│ included in the logs. │
│ One girl named Jenny, who had left her number, hung up immediately when asked about Epstein. │
│ A man listed only as Darren said: 'I have no comment to make on that.' │
│ Today, Prince Andrew was embroiled in further controversy as it was revealed Kazakhstan had │
│ asked for his help in recruiting investors to the country. │
│ The plea came after the former Soviet Republic's President's son-in-law had bought the Prince's │
│ former marital home for £3million above the asking price. │
│ Timur Kulibayev paid £15million for Sunninghill Park but it has remained empty and has been │
│ allowed to fall into disrepair. │
│ Last year the Prince told Hello! magazine: 'It was like any property deal between friends.' │
│ Yesterday he attempted to perform business as usual as he visited an East London school and met │
│ rail bosses in Canary Wharf │
│ He steadfastly ignored questions from journalists asking whether he was an 'embarrassment to his │
│ country' and would resign from his trade ambassador role as he arrived for a briefing from │
│ business executives at the headquarters of the £15billion train project Crossrail. │
│ Prince Andrew managed to sell Sunninghill Park for £3million more than the asking price │

│ Importance: High │
│ Jeffrey, │
│ The bats did the sweep. Here are the new results taken as of a minute ago. │
│ You have only one negative article left on front page of google, which is │
│ the Huffington Post article. The Huffington Post is extremely hard to │
│ move, because it is so powerful, has millions of links to it, and uploads │
│ massive new and original content it on a daily basis with posting from out │
│ side readers. We managed to push it down the page, as it used to be at the │
│ top. If we were able to post original content to both the science and the │
│ org site (absolutely not a single word to this day by Jessica, just talk), │
│ we would have been able to push it down even further, and off the page. WE │
│ did manage to get rid of the daily beast article, which is now far │
│ removed, inspite of their own efforts to keep it prominent. │
│ Toxic suggested search engine terms that popped up automatically when you │
│ typed in your name are also now removed. │
│ Wikipedia was an important victory, as it will always be at the top of the │
│ search engine results. ow the head lines do not mention convicted sex │
│ offender or pedophile. Instead, Philanthrophic work, Epstein Foundation, │
│ Promotion of Scientists. We have stopped the hacking on your wiki site, │
│ and that was a major effor. Your wiki entry now is pretty tame, and bad │
│ stuff has been muted, bowlerized, and pused to the bottom. Careful editing │
│ and wording has muted the effect immensely. We hacked the site to replace │
│ the mug shot and caption, and now has an entirely different photo and │
│ caption. This was a big success. │
│ We pushed the Edge all the way up to the front page, where it was │
│ previously buried on page 5 of google search. │
│ We have promoted the other jeffrey epsteins, and other pages are also │
│ filled with your material. │
│ And, while the sites are up, and in the direction we hoped, they are still │
│ new, and subject to volitility, especially if new original content is not │
│ added on a minimum of a weekly basis. I have been forbideen to add new │
│ content to the philanthrophic site as well as the science site, and │
│ therefore, as a result our rating slipped down (still on the first page, │
│ but would have liked them (and some of the articles to been able to push │
│ Huffington off page). We also helped with you images, and the first images │
│ that come of you on a google search are not of your mug shot, etc. │
│ Your daily beast foe is still at it, and trying to promote her sites │
│ against you in the same way that we try to depromote you. │
│ As far as this site is concerned, and the continuation of this, I do not │
│ know what you wish to do. Clearly, you have no interest in my continuing. │
│ And, I am not sure if you want to continue the project at all. If the │
│ latter, and you stop, eventually it will just go into the way of entropy, │
│ and it will return to the old form. The major work has been done, but it │
│ needs to be maintained. For it to get better results, it needs to have │
│ constant input and supervision, and that means generating proper content, │
│ not just editing and grammatical fixes. Writers need to know what to │
│ write. THe philanthrophy site is at the bottom of the page precisely │
│ because you have not allowed us to add any content to it, and as a result │
│ it suffers. │
│ You paid Mike $2500, which he applied for the purchasing of his │
│ replacement servers, but his fee of $7500 balance is now due if you want │
│ to continue. Please let me know what you want to do. I need to inform him, │
│ and if you are not going to use him, he needs to take on his other clients │
│ and devote his time there. │
│ This needs to be contrasted with what we started with, which was a search │
│ on your name, which had nine/10 very toxic prominent stories, and toxic │
│ Wiki article and headline. │

│ My initial estimate, given to me by Pablos, was 25, and that was based solely on his quick look at the situation, │
│ and │
│ not knowing what was really out there. In fact, as I have repeated many times, the job was far far worse that │
│ originally expected, you have a dedicated group of people trying to undo and damage you, including now, they have │
│ started up in the last week full force again, as it is obvious that they can't fux with your wild page any more │
│ as we │
│ blocked that.. The woman from the Daily Beast. We have programs that track this stuff, and so, for the past few │
│ days, Mike has been having a cyber war with her minions, who are actively trying to undo what we are doing, as │
│ she │
│ is trying to push her Daily beast and other articles back up. So, we have to go back and push them back down. │
│ Then, there was the issue of trying to create additionally on you a positive web presence, with the science and │
│ org │
│ sites. │
│ I spend literally four months of non-stop work, creativity, and my own political capital to getyou this so far, │
│ which │
│ saved you not only time, but countless dollars, and isn't something that can be readily bought. I had people │
│ working │
│ also for free. I gained access to information that standard seo companies don't have. In addition, I wasted a lot │
│ of │
│ time talking to people who promise to help, but end up providing nothing, and so, I end up having to do it │
│ myself. │
│ What do I get in return, constant back slapping to my head... │
│ We were trying to fix up your mess. I didn't create it. Just thought it would be something to help. This was │
│ NEVER about trying to pull money out of you, and fact, we have don't everything possible to keep the costs down │
│ considerably. │
│ I must talk to you about the island thing asap. When can we do that? │

│ Neat indeed. │
│ I'm writing about the Iran deal. So far have only sent a form paragraph in response to requests. Below. │
│ Noam │
│ On Iran, as usual, I'm a gloomy contrarian. I'm glad the treaty was signed, and it's kind of fun to watch the │
│ Republican lunatics shrieking hysterically as they try to kill it (as they may). And Israeli hypocrisy has gone │
│ well beyond being comical. But in fact the whole thing is farcical, in my opinon. In the US, Iran is "the │
│ greatest threat to world peace", intoned constantly from on high, in the media, everywhere. There is also such a │
│ thing as world opinion, as measured by such ultra-radicals as Gallup. It turns out that the greatest threat to │
│ world peace is the US, by a very wide margin, no one else even close, and Iran barely mentioned. The │
│ American population is protected from these unwanted facts by the Free Press: not reported. There is an │
│ organization called US intelligence. They brief Congress regularly on the international security situation, all │
│ quite public. On Iran, they point out that it has very limited military power, even by regional standards (a │
│ small │
│ fraction of Saudi Arabia, for example). Its strategic doctrine is defensive. If— a big If— it has plans for │
│ nuclear │
│ weapons, that would be part of its deterrent strategy. Now who would be opposed to Iran having a deterrent │
│ strategy? Answer is clear: the rogue states that rampage violently in the region and don't want any impediment: │
│ the US and Israel, also lesser ones like UK and France. One simple way to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons │
│ would be to establish a nuclear-weapons free zone in the region, as has been done elsewhere (over US │
│ objections). That's been advocated by the Arab states for 20 years, with very wide global support, including │
│ Iran. It comes up regularly at the 5-year review meetings of the Nonproliferation Treaty, at the UN, again a few │
│ months ago, when, again, it was blocked by the US to protect its Israeli client, which has a huge nuclear │
│ weapons arsenal and wants to keep it. Again, the population is protected from such facts by the Free Press │
│ (though in this case there are some fringe exceptions, and of course the Arms Control literature). Same with the │
│ rest of the litany. Reading the US and UK press is like living in some lunatic asylum. I'm wondering whether │
│ to write about it — again; have done so repeatedly. It's like talking to a wall. Iran has an awful government, │
│ though by the standards of such US allies as Saudi Arabia, it's practically heaven. │
│ Nevertheless, better to have the treaty than not to, given the nature of the asylum. │

│ I'm writing about the Iran deal. So far have only sent a form paragraph in response to requests. Below. │
│ Noam │
│ On Iran, as usual, I'm a gloomy contrarian. I'm glad the treaty was signed, and it's kind of fun to watch the │
│ Republican lunatics shrieking hysterically as they try to kill it (as they may). And Israeli hypocrisy has gone │
│ well beyond being comical. But in fact the whole thing is farcical, in my opinon. In the US, Iran is "the │
│ greatest threat to world peace", intoned constantly from on high, in the media, everywhere. There is also such │
│ a thing as world opinion, as measured by such ultra-radicals as Gallup. It turns out that the greatest threat to │
│ world peace is the US, by a very wide margin, no one else even close, and Iran barely mentioned. The │
│ American population is protected from these unwanted facts by the Free Press: not reported. There is an │
│ organization called US intelligence. They brief Congress regularly on the international security situation, all │
│ quite public. On Iran, they point out that it has very limited military power, even by regional standards (a │
│ small fraction of Saudi Arabia, for example). Its strategic doctrine is defensive. If— a big If— it has plans for │
│ nuclear weapons, that would be part of its deterrent strategy. Now who would be opposed to Iran having a │
│ deterrent strategy? Answer is clear: the rogue states that rampage violently in the region and don't want any │
│ impediment: the US and Israel, also lesser ones like UK and France. One simple way to reduce the threat of │
│ nuclear weapons would be to establish a nuclear-weapons free zone in the region, as has been done elsewhere │
│ (over US objections). That's been advocated by the Arab states for 20 years, with very wide global support, │
│ including Iran. It comes up regularly at the 5-year review meetings of the Nonproliferation Treaty, at the UN, │
│ again a few months ago, when, again, it was blocked by the US to protect its Israeli client, which has a huge │
│ nuclear weapons arsenal and wants to keep it. Again, the population is protected from such facts by the Free │
│ Press (though in this case there are some fringe exceptions, and of course the Arms Control literature). Same │
│ with the rest of the litany. Reading the US and UK press is like living in some lunatic asylum. I'm wondering │
│ whether to write about it — again; have done so repeatedly. It's like talking to a wall. Iran has an awful │
│ government, though by the standards of such US allies as Saudi Arabia, it's practically heaven. │
│ Nevertheless, better to have the treaty than not to, given the nature of the asylum. │

│ Laffer: Obama Must Use Reaganomics to Save Economy The only way President Barack Obama can solve the │
│ nation's economic woes is to adopt "common-sense" Reaganomics, the policy's architect Arthur Laffer claims │
│ in an exclusive Newsmax interview. │
│ Laffer said the White House called him in the spring and asked him to speak to Obama's former Council of │
│ Economic Advisors' chairman Austen Goolsbee — and he had told him exactly the same thing. │
│ "Reaganomics would fix any economy that's in the doldrums," Laffer said. "It's not a magic sauce, it's │
│ common sense. │
│ "You've got to get rid of all federal taxes in the extreme and replace them with a low-rate flat tax on business │
│ net sales, and on personal unadjusted gross income. That's number one. │
│ "Number two, you have to have spending restraint. Government spending causes unemployment, it does not │
│ cure unemployment. │
│ "Number three, you need sound money. Ben Bernanke is running the least sound monetary policy I've ever │
│ heard of," Laffer said. │
│ "Number four you need regulations, but you don't need those regulations to go beyond the purpose at hand and │
│ create collateral damage. The regulatory policies are really way off here. │
│ "And lastly you need free trade," Laffer said. "Foreigners produce some things better than we do and we │
│ produce some things better than foreigners. It would be foolish in the extreme if we didn't sell them those │
│ things │
│ we produce better than they do in exchange for those things they produce better than we do." │
│ In the interview the veteran economist said Standard & Poor's was quite right in downgrading the U.S. credit │
│ rating — in fact it should have done so far earlier. │
│ The agency had no choice and if the other agencies, Moody's and Fitch, don't do the same they won't be doing │
│ their jobs, said Laffer, who gave his name to the Laffer Curve which demonstrates that the maximum amount of │
│ government revenue does not come at the point of maximum taxes. │
│ ______`If you had a company that had revenues of $21/2 million and expenses of $4 million, with no change in │
│ sight, $11/2 million in losses each year as far as the eye can see and it had already borrowed $10 million, what │
│ would you rate that company? I surely wouldn't rate it AAA. │
│ "That is the U.S. situation today," Laffer said. "Taxes are about $21/2 trillion, government spending is about $4 │
│ trillion and we have about $10 trillion in net national debt. I don't see that as being a AAA country. │
│ "If the S&P and the others were doing their jobs correctly, they should have downgraded a long time ago." │
│ Laffer said he has no doubt the country will win its top rating back, but only when economic policies are │
│ completely turned around. He said President Barack Obama's administration's only economic plan seemed to │
│ be to expand government ownership of the means of production. │
│ "They have nationalized the health care industry pretty extensively. They've done that with home building as │
│ well. They've tried it with the auto industry as well. So they have moved very, very deliberatively and │
│ purposefully toward extending the government ownership of the means of production. │
│ "That to me, if you read the tealeaves, is what they are doing. It is not what they are saying they are doing, │
│ but │
│ that is what they actually are doing. │
│ "People don't work to pay taxes, people work to get what they can after taxes. It's that very private incentive │
│ that motivates them to work. If you pay people not to work and tax them if they do work, don't be surprised if │
│ you find a lot of people not working." │
│ Laffer said the current economic woes started to form under President George W. Bush but have been made │
│ worse by Obama's policies. │
│ "There's a wedge driven between wages paid and wages received and that wedge is the tax/government │
│ spending wedge," he said. │
│ "That wedge has grown dramatically in the last 4 1/2 years...under W and a Republican administration │
│ and...under Obama. Bipartisan ignorance has led us to this very disastrously desolate state." │
│ Laffer had high praise for the role the tea party has played in bringing the problem of the deficits to the fore. │
│ "The tea party is not the problem, the tea party may well be the solution," he said. "They are critical to the │
│ future of the country in a positive way. They are the only fiscally sound people I know out there all the time. │
│ "I don't know that I would go as far as they go on a lot of issues but I surely respect their movement very │
│ much." │
│ And he said any one of the group of Republicans vying for the party's nomination for the White House would │
│ make" a great president." │
│ "Tim Pawlenty is spectacular. Newt Gingrich knows more about issues than anyone you've ever seen. Michele │
│ Bachmann is out-of-sight wonderful," he said. │
│ "Rick Perry is second to no one in this stuff If you look at Herman Cain, he's phenomenal. │
│ "Oh and (Jon) Huntsman was a great governor of the state of Utah and is a phenomenally experienced │
│ intellectual competent man. │
│ "When you look at the Republican candidates, you see a group of people who are absolutely outstanding in │
│ attributes." │

│ AN FP SPECIAL REPORT │
│ The Ayatollah Under the │
│ Bed(sheets) │
│ In the Islamic Republic of Iran, all politics may not be sexual, but all sex is political. │
│ BY KARIM SADJADPOUR I MAY/JUNE 2012 │
│ In the early years of the Iranian Revolution, an obscure cleric named Ayatollah Gilani │
│ became a sensation on state television by contemplating bizarre hypotheticals at the │
│ intersection of Islamic law and sexuality. One of his most outlandish scenarios -- still │
│ mocked by Iranians three decades later -- went like this: │
│ Imagine you are a young man sleeping in your bedroom. In the bedroom directly below, │
│ your aunt lies asleep. Now imagine that an earthquake happens that collapses your floor, │
│ causing you to fall directly on top of her. For the sake of argument, let's assume that you're │
│ both nude, and you're erect, and you land with such perfect precision on top of her that │
│ you unintentionally achieve intercourse. Is the child of such an │
│ encounter halalzadeh (legitimate) or haramzadeh (a bastard)? │
│ Such tales of random ribaldry may sound anomalous in the seemingly austere, asexual │
│ Islamic Republic of Iran. But the "Gili Show," as it came to be known, had quite the │
│ following among both the traditional classes, who were titillated by his taboo topics, and │
│ the Tehrani elite, who tuned in for comic relief. Gilani helped spawn what is now a virtual │
│ cottage industry of clerics and fundamentalists turned amateur sexologists offering │
│ incoherent advice on everything from quickies ("The man's goal should be to lighten his │
│ load as soon as possible without arousing his woman") to masturbation ("a grave, grave │
│ sin which causes scientific and medical harm"). │
│ Perhaps it's not entirely surprising that Iran's Shiite fundamentalists -- not unlike their │
│ evangelical Christian, Catholic, Orthodox Jewish, and Sunni Muslim counterparts -- spend │
│ an inordinate amount of time pondering sexuality. They are human, after all. But the │
│ sexual manias of Iran's religious fundamentalists are worthy of greater scrutiny, all the │
│ more so because they control a state with nuclear ambitions, vast oil wealth, and a young, │
│ dynamic, stifled population. Yet for a variety of reasons -- fear of becoming Salman │
│ Rushdie, of being labeled an Orientalist, of upsetting religious sensibilities -- the │
│ remarkable hypocrisy of the Iranian regime is often studiously avoided. │
│ That's a mistake. Because religion is politics in a theocracy like Iran, uninformed or │
│ antiquated notions of sexuality aren't just confined to the bedroom -- they pervade the │
│ country's seminaries, military barracks, boardrooms, courtrooms, and classrooms. A │
│ common aphorism among Iranians is that before the revolution, people partied outside │
│ the home and prayed inside, while today they pray outside and party inside. This reverse │
│ dichotomy is true of a lot of social behavior in Iran. For many Iranians, this perverse state │
│ of affairs is now so ingrained, such an inherent aspect of daily interactions with Iranian │
│ officialdom, that it is no longer noteworthy. For those in the West who seek to better │
│ understand what makes Tehran tick, though, the regime's curious fixation on sex cannot │
│ be ignored. │
│ To paraphrase the late U.S. House Speaker Tip O'Neill, in the Islamic Republic of Iran │
│ all politics may not be sexual, but all sex is political. Exhibit A is the revolution's father, the │
│ late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Like all Shiite clerics aspiring to become a "source of │
│ emulation" (marja'-e taqlid), Khomeini spent the first part of his career meticulously │
│ examining and dispensing religious guidance on personal behavior and ritual purity that │
│ ranged from the mundane ("It is recommended not to hold back the need to urinate or │
│ defecate, especially if it hurts") to the surprisingly lewd. │
│ In his 1961 religious treatise A Clarification of Questions (Towzih al-Masael), Khomeini │
│ issued detailed pronouncements on issues ranging from sodomy ("If a man sodomizes │
│ the son, brother, or father of his wife after their marriage, the marriage remains valid") to │
│ bestiality ("If a person has intercourse with a cow, a sheep, or a camel, their urine and │
│ dung become impure and drinking their milk will be unlawful"). As a young boy growing │
│ up in the American Midwest, I remember being both horrified and bewildered after │
│ coming across these precise passages in a translated volume of Khomeini's sayings I found │
│ in our Persian emigre home. │
│ Scholars of Shiism -- including harsh critics of Khomeini -- emphasize that such themes │
│ were the norm among clerics of Khomeini's generation and should be understood in their │
│ proper context: Islam was a religion that emerged out of a rural desert, and the Prophet │
│ Mohammed was himself once a shepherd. Whereas religions like Christianity and Judaism │
│ simply declare such behavior to be sinful, Islam addresses them from a juridical point of │
│ view. │
│ The underlying problem, says Islamic scholar Mehdi Khalaji, a former seminary student in │
│ the Shiite epicenter of Qom, is not that such issues were addressed, but the fact that │
│ "Islamic jurisprudence hasn't yet been modernized. It's totally disconnected from the │
│ issues that modern, urban people have to deal with." │
│ Indeed, Khomeini's religious prescriptions are often the butt of jokes among Iran's post- │
│ revolutionary generations. "I've never even seen a camel in Tehran," prominent Iranian │
│ cartoonist Nikahang Kowsar told me, "let alone been tempted to have sex with one." │
│ IF THERE IS A DOUBLE ENTENDRE that aptly captures today's Middle East, it is │
│ the "youth bulge." The Arab world's median age is 22, Iran's is 27; Western Europe's, by │
│ contrast, is near 40. High levels of Internet and satellite television penetration, with their │
│ pervasive pornography, coupled with the region's youthful demographics, have │
│ accentuated the Muslim Middle East's fraught relationship with sexuality. │
│ Google Trends, which monitors searches from around the world, shows that of the seven │
│ countries that most frequently search the word "sex" on Google, five are Muslim and │
│ one (India) has a large Muslim minority. (The word "sexy" is even more popular among │
│ Arabs.) Google Insights, another trend spotter, shows that the most rapidly rising search │
│ term for Iranians so far in 2012 has been "Golshifteh Farahani," a popular exiled actress │
│ who in January posed topless for the French magazine Madame Figaro. │
│ Before the 1979 revolution, religious fundamentalists were revolted by images of scantily │
│ clad Iranian women in the country's cinema and television; today, state television and │
│ cinema are forbidden from showing unveiled Iranian women. This is despite the fact that │
│ most of the country's citizens have access to the much more tawdry fare on satellite TV │
│ (the dishes are officially illegal, but thought to be smuggled in by the Islamic │
│ Revolutionary Guard Corps itself). In the forthcoming documentary The Iran Job, Kevin │
│ Sheppard, an American who played basketball in Iran's professional leagues, is shocked │
│ while surfing his newly connected satellite television. "We have 600 channels," he │
│ remarks, "400 of them are sex!" │
│ Because of its religious pretensions, however, the Iranian regime is forced to spend untold │
│ millions of dollars trying to jam satellite TV broadcasts to prevent them from reaching the │
│ country's citizens -- a futile attempt to simultaneously repel the forces of both technology │
│ and human nature. In an interview with the New Yorker several years ago, an Iranian │
│ security official candidly assessed the challenge at hand: │
│ The majority of the population is young.... Young people by nature are horny. Because they │
│ are horny, they like to watch satellite channels where there are films or programs they can │
│ jerk off to.... We have to do something about satellite television to keep society free from │
│ this horny jerk-off situation. │
│ One might assume a country that suffers from chronic inflation and unemployment -- not │
│ to mention harsh international sanctions and a potential war over its nuclear program -- │
│ would have better things to do than discourage its youth from masturbating. Yet the │
│ regime continues to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into Chinese censorship │
│ technology to create a moral Iron Dome against political and cultural subversion, with │
│ decidedly mixed results. Piped-in BBC Persian and Voice of America television are │
│ sometimes successfully scrambled, but those who want pornography have no shortage of │
│ outlets. That said, the censorship software sometimes get a bit overzealous. One Iranian │
│ friend told me of repeated unsuccessful attempts to access his British university's email │
│ account from Tehran, only to realize that the school's apparently bawdy name -- Essex -- │
│ was prohibited by the regime's Internet filters. │
│ DURING THE RULE OF WESTERN-ORIENTED autocrat Mohammad Reza Shah │
│ Pahlavi, Tehran was a rapidly evolving society that deceptively appeared to be crossing │
│ into the modern age. My own family history is perhaps representative of Iran's urban │
│ middle-class trajectory during the 20th century: My devout paternal grandmother, born in │
│ 1907, wore a chador and wasn't formally educated beyond elementary school; three of her │
│ four daughters attended university, and all eschewed the veil. All of their daughters grew │
│ up in a Tehran in which miniskirts were the trend, and Googoosh -- Iran's pre- │
│ revolutionary J. Lo (but remarkably modest by today's standards) -- was their main │
│ "source of emulation." │
│ Khomeini's opposition to the shah was fueled in part by the latter's enfranchisement of │
│ women, which the ayatollah deliberately conflated with sexual decadence. In his 1970 │
│ book Islamic Governance(Hukumat-e Islam° -- which would later provide the ideological │
│ and political template for post-revolutionary Iran -- Khomeini hyperventilated that │
│ "sexual vice has now reached such proportions that it is destroying entire generations, │
│ corrupting our youth, and causing them to neglect all forms of work! They are all rushing │
│ to enjoy the various forms of vice that have become so freely available and so │
│ enthusiastically promoted." │
│ Khomeini nonetheless reassured his liberal revolutionary compatriots -- just months │
│ before the revolution, while in Paris exile -- that "women [would be] free in the Islamic │
│ Republic in the selection of their activities and their future and their clothing." Much to its │
│ retrospective dismay, a sizable chunk of Iran's liberal intelligentsia -- both male and │
│ female -- lined up behind Khomeini, some even referring to him as an "Iranian Gandhi." │
│ Shortly after consolidating power, however, Khomeini and his disciples swiftly moved to │
│ crush opposing views and curtail female social and sartorial freedoms. "Islam doesn't │
│ allow for people to [wear swimsuits] in the sea," he proclaimed shortly after becoming │
│ supreme leader. We "will skin their hide!" │
│ Women who resisted the mandatory veil were met with violence and intimidation, │
│ including lyrical taunts of "Ya roosari, ya toosari!" ("Cover your head or be smacked in │
│ the head!"). As Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi recently wrote, │
│ "Although the 1979 revolution in Iran is often called an Islamic revolution, it can actually │
│ be said to be a revolution of men against women.... The drafters of [the Islamic Penal │
│ Code] had effectively taken us back 1,400 years." │
│ Like Islamists in today's Egypt -- and some among America's Christian right -- Iran's │
│ revolutionaries found fertile ground on which to play the politics of pious populism, rather │
│ than concretely address the enormous challenges of building a diversified economy. The │
│ country's massive oil wealth made it appear all too easy. Khomeini famously dismissed │
│ economics as "for donkeys," and he responded to complaints of inflation by saying, "The │
│ revolution wasn't about the price of watermelons." Three decades later, the results are self- │
│ evident: In 1979, resource-rich Iran's GDP was almost double that of resource-poor │
│ Turkey. Today, it is roughly half. │
│ The brutal reality is that Iranians had entrusted their national destiny to a man, Khomeini, │
│ who had spent far more time thinking about the religious penalties for fornicating with │
│ animals than how to run a modern economy. │
│ AFTER HIS DEATH IN 1989, Khomeini was succeeded by the current supreme leader, │
│ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has remained loyal to Khomeini's vision for Iran, including │
│ his prudishness regarding matters of the flesh. For Khamenei -- who has said that keeping │
│ women in hijab would "prevent our society from being plunged into corruption and │
│ turmoil" -- outward displays of feminine beauty are viewed not only with religious │
│ disfavor, but as an existential threat to the regime itself. │
│ Khamenei contends that the health of the family unit is integral to the Islamic Republic's │
│ well-being and is undermined by female beauty. Although to some this worldview is │
│ fundamentally misogynistic,Khamenei sees men, not women, as untrustworthy and │
│ incapable of resisting temptation: │
│ In Islam, women have been prohibited from showing off their beauty in order to attract │
│ men or causefitna [upheaval or sedition]. Showing off one's physical attraction to men is a │
│ kind of fitna ... [for] if this love for beauty and members of the opposite sex is found │
│ somewhere other than the framework of the family, the stability of the family will be │
│ undermined. │
│ Interestingly, the word Khamenei employs against the potential unveiling of women - │
│ - fitna -- is the same word used to describe the opposition Green Movement that took to │
│ the streets in the summer of 2009 to protest President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's │
│ contested reelection. In other words, women's hair is itself seen as seditious and │
│ counterrevolutionary. Even so-called liberal politicians in the Islamic Republic have long │
│ fixated on this issue. Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, Iran's first post-revolutionary president, who │
│ has spent the past three decades exiled in France, reportedly once asserted that women's │
│ hair has been scientifically proven to emit sexually enticing rays. (An Iranian satirist │
│ responded with a cartoon showing a man inadvertently aroused while eating lunch at his │
│ friend's home; the culprit turned out to be an errant strand of his friend's wife's hair in │
│ the ghormeh sabzi stew, an Iranian national dish.) │
│ OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, the women of Iran's younger generation have │
│ increasingly pushed back and loosened their veils, but any discussion of abolishing the veil │
│ altogether is not tolerated by Khamenei. In addition to opposition toward the United │
│ States and Israel, the hijab is often considered one of the Islamic Republic's three │
│ remaining ideological pillars. "For Islamic Republic officials, the hijab has vast symbolic │
│ importance; it is what holds up the dam, keeping all of Iranians' other demands for social │
│ freedoms at bay," says Azadeh Moaveni, an Iranian-American author. "Relax on the │
│ hijab, they think, and all hell will break loose; next people will want to swill beer on the │
│ street and read uncensored novels. They think of it as a gateway freedom." │
│ Despite Khamenei's assertion that the hijab prevents men from straying, governmental │
│ policies in fact encourage the opposite. For example, to help accommodate the apparently │
│ incorrigibly wandering libido of the Iranian male, the country's parliament -- composed of │
│ Khamenei loyalists -- has supported sharia-sanctioned "temporary marriages" (known in │
│ Persian as sigheh) allowing men as many sexual partners as they want. The marriage │
│ contract can last as little as a few minutes, and it doesn't need to be officially registered. │
│ The man can abruptly end the sigheh when he likes, but initiating divorce is far more │
│ difficult for women. Indeed, women who stray from the sanctity of their marriages do so at │
│ grave risk -- dozens have been stoned to death in Iran for adultery. │
│ The country's economic malaise has also led to a reportedly sharp rise in plain old, non- │
│ Islamically sanctioned prostitution. Tehran's high-end taxi drivers, often underemployed │
│ university graduates, casually point them out on the street. │
│ "When economies take a downturn, informal economies and illicit networks become more │
│ attractive," says Pardis Mandavi, author of a book on sexuality in Iran. "Technology │
│ facilitates this too." │
│ During the shah's time, Tehran's notorious red-light district was known as Shahr-e │
│ Noe (New City), a place where countless young Iranian men lost their virginity. Like many │
│ things post-revolution, however, the Islamic Republic just imagined that banning the │
│ symptom would make the problem go away. But pouring saltpeter from the minarets │
│ hasn't worked. "They razed Shahr-e Noe thinking it would end prostitution," a retired │
│ Iranian laborer once told me. "Now all of Tehran has become Shahr-e Noe." │
│ UNSURPRISINGLY, THE OUTWARDLY CHASTE nature of Khomeinist political │
│ culture has perverted normal sexual behavior, creating peculiar curiosities -- and │
│ proclivities -- among Iranian officialdom. Omid Memarian, a journalist who spent several │
│ months in the notorious Evin prison for his articles critical of the government, told me │
│ that his interrogators seemed far more interested in his sex life than his political │
│ peccadilloes. "I tried to answer their questions in very general terms, but they'd interrupt │
│ me," he recalled. "They wanted to know details. 'Start from when you were unbuttoning │
│ her blouse...." In one instance, he told me, he was horrified when an interrogator │
│ appeared to be rubbing himself while listening. │
│ Observers of American politics -- the land of Jimmy Swaggart, Mark Sanford, │
│ and Newt Gingrich, to name just a few -- won't be surprised to learn that it is often the │
│ most outspoken Iranian advocates of traditional values who fall short of achieving them. │
│ Memarian spent part of his mandatory military service in Tehran writing speeches for a │
│ senior Revolutionary Guard commander who routinely attacked the craven immorality of │
│ the "Global Arrogance" (i.e., the United States). "His filmi [the person who brought him │
│ bootlegged films on CD] later told me that he always requested 'films with scenes' [film- │
│ haye sahne-dar]," a euphemism for porn. │
│ In a well-publicized national scandal in 2008, the Tehran police commander responsible │
│ for enforcing Iran's strict anti-vice laws, Reza Zarei, was caught nude in a brothel with six │
│ women (one of the women claimed he had asked them to pray naked in front of him). │
│ While American politicians might bounce back from such transgressions with their │
│ own television show (see: Spitzer, Eliot), the revelation of the incident reportedly led │
│ Zarei to attempt suicide while in prison. │
│ The shame of sexual malfeasance has been routinely used by the regime as a form of │
│ political coercion and intimidation. When the famously jocular reformist cleric │
│ Mohammad Ali Abtahi, former vice president to Mohammad Khatami, was imprisoned │
│ after Iran's contested 2009 presidential election, he surprised his supporters by confessing │
│ with great gusto to being part of a Western-backed conspiracy to foment a velvet │
│ revolution. Although his confession was undoubtedly forced, his close associates claim that │
│ what compelled him to confess was not physical or psychological torture but hidden │
│ photos of him -- in flagrante delicto -- at a secret Tehran love nest that was long being │
│ monitored. │
│ The Islamic Republic isn't always so prudish, however. In fact, it's been willing to use │
│ sexual incentives as a form of statecraft. In a WikiLeaked U.S. State Department │
│ cable, for example, senior Iraqi tribal chief Abu Cheffat confided in a U.S. diplomat in │
│ Baghdad that Tehran effectively wielded influence over Iraqi politicians -- ostensibly │
│ visiting Iran for "medical treatment" -- by offering inducements including "temporary │
│ marriages" with Iranian women. Not that Cheffat was complaining, mind you: The perks │
│ were surely better than when he visited President George W. Bush at the White House in │
│ 2008. It was not without reason, he explained, that Iranian soft power was trumping │
│ American hard power in Iraq. │
│ More recently, three Iranian intelligence agents who unsuccessfully tried to kill Israeli │
│ government officials in Bangkok this past February photographed themselves at a bar in │
│ the beach resort of Pattaya with local "escorts." When I asked the scion of a powerful │
│ cleric in Tehran how ostensible devotees of Khomeini's religious ideology are able to │
│ reconcile frequenting non-Muslim prostitutes and drinking alcohol, he quickly dismissed │
│ any religious obstacles. "There are government clerics who can easily grant them religious │
│ pretexts [mojavez'e Shar'i]," he explained. "They can make the case that if they didn't │
│ frequent prostitutes and drink alcohol they would appear to be [terrorists] and raise │
│ suspicions." │
│ In essence, the Iranian regime's approach toward sex, like its philosophy of governance, is │
│ marked by maslahat, or expediency, and used alternately as a tool of suppression, │
│ inducement, and incitement. In the summer of 2009, when hundreds of thousands of │
│ Iranians took to the streets to protest Ahmadinejad's reelection, many protesters were │
│ brutally beaten by the Basij militia, gangs of young regime thugs on motorbikes who were │
│ given a green light to quell the uprising. As Iranian-American academic Shervin │
│ Malekzadeh reported from Tehran, the Basij seemed to be driven by a combination of class │
│ resentment and pent-up frustration. "They don't screw; they don't drink or smoke joints," │
│ one of his sources told him. "What else are they going to do with all of that energy?" │
│ But perhaps the seminal -- and most heartbreaking -- moment of the Green Revolution │
│ was the murder of a 26-year-old female protester, Neda Agha-Soltan, whose bloody death │
│ was caught on cell-phone camera and rendered one of the most viral videos in history. In │
│ an HBO documentary about her life, Neda's mother recalls a message that some │
│ sympathetic female Basij members relayed to Neda days before she was killed by a sniper: │
│ "Dear, please don't come out looking so beautiful.... Do us a favor and don't come out │
│ because the Basiji men target beautiful girls. And they will shoot you." │
│ While the iconic faces of Iran's 1979 revolution were bearded, middle-aged men, Neda has │
│ come to symbolize the new face of dissent in 21st-century Iran: a young, modern, educated │
│ woman. For her opposition to the regime and to the hijab, she is the embodiment of fitna │
│ in Khamenei's eyes. │
│ THREE SPRINGS LATER, the Iranian regime once again is faced with a crisis, this │
│ time of an external variety. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatens war │
│ in between meals, the Pentagon plays war games and policy planners huddle in the White │
│ House: Is the Iranian regime rational or irrational? Can diplomatic negotioations prevent │
│ Iran from obtaining a bomb, or is an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities inevitable? │
│ Many Iran watchers assert that to persuade Tehran not to pursue a nuclear weapon, │
│ Washington must reassure Khamenei that the United States merely seeks a change in │
│ Iranian behavior, not a change of the Iranian regime. │
│ What they fail to consider is Khamenei's deep-seated conviction that U.S. designs to │
│ overthrow the Islamic Republic hinge not on military invasion but on cultural and political │
│ subversion intended to foment a "velvet" revolution from within. Consider this revealing │
│ address on Iranian state TV in 2005: │
│ More than Iran's enemies need artillery, guns, and so forth, they need to spread cultural │
│ values that lead to moral corruption.... I recently read in the news that a senior official in │
│ an important American political center said: "Instead of bombs, send them miniskirts." He │
│ is right. If they arouse sexual desires in any given country, if they spread unrestrained │
│ mixing of men and women, and if they lead youth to behavior to which they are naturally │
│ inclined by instincts, there will no longer be any need for artillery and guns against that │
│ nation. │
│ Khamenei's vast collection of writings and speeches makes clear that the weapons of mass │
│ destruction he fears most are cultural -- more Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga than bunker │
│ busters and aircraft carriers. In other words, Tehran is threatened not only by what │
│ America does, but by what America is: a depraved, postmodern colonial power bent on │
│ achieving global cultural hegemony. America's "strategic policy," Khamenei has said, "is │
│ seeking female promiscuity." │
│ Khamenei's words capture the paradox and perversion of modern Iran. While dropping │
│ bombs on the Iranian regime could likely prolong its shelf-life, a regime that sees women's │
│ hair as an existential threat is already well past its sell-by date. │

│ The Food and Drug Administration has approved Praluent, a new medicine to lower cholesterol in people who │
│ have established heart disease, for people whose risk of a heart attack or stroke is not being adequately │
│ controlled by existing drugs called statins. │
│ It might be a big step in the battle against heart disease — and the approval is a triumph for Regeneron │
│ Pharmaceuticals, the Tarrytown, N.Y.-based biotechnology company that invented it. Praluent is likely to be │
│ more widely used, and to cost more, than Wall Steet analysts expected. That also means it could be a big cost │
│ down the line. │
│ "Obviously, the class is one of the biggest developments in cardiology in the last decade, that will allow us to │
│ treat patients who have been extremely difficult to treat with high levels of LDL cholesterol," says Steven │
│ Nissen, chairman of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic. "It's very promising." │
│ But it will also be very expensive, say Troy Brennan, the chief medical officer of CVS Caremark, the giant │
│ pharmacy benefits manager."If these drugs are used as broadly as they could be used, they are going to be by far │
│ the most expensive drug class," Brennan says. │
│ Praluent, an injection, lowers low-density lipoprotein, the so-called "bad cholesterol", by as much as 60%, far │
│ more than the statin drugs alone. It is the first drug to work by targeting a protein called PCSK9. Mutations in │
│ the gene that makes it can result in patients having lower cholesterol and a dramatically lower lifetime risk of │
│ heart attacks. A rival medicine from Amgen is also expected to be approved soon. The FDA is clearing Praluent │
│ for patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol, │
│ and for people who have heart disease, like those who've had heart attacks or strokes, who are already taking │
│ the maximum dose of a statin they can tolerate. │
│ Regeneron and its marketing partner Sanofi say Praluent will have a wholesale cost of $40 a day, or $14,600 a │
│ year, for either of two doses, 75 milligrams or 150 mgs. It's likely that insurance companies will get a │
│ significant discount, because Amgen and Regeneron will compete by giving the insurers rebates. │

│ "We don't want the noise about these drugs to be price," says Leonard Schleifer, the chief executive and │
│ founder of Regeneron. "We have to make sure that people get access to the drug for a fair price if they're │
│ insured, for free if they're not insured, or at a discount if they're under-insured." │
│ Praluent's price is 46% higher than that forecast by Evercore ISI, an investment bank, and it is being approved │
│ for a larger group of patients than many Wall Street analysts expected following a meeting convened by the │
│ FDA to analyze the data on the drug. Some doctors argued its use should be restricted mainly to patients with │
│ FH. But Mark Schoenebaum, Evercore ISI's pharmaceutical analyst, says that investors were initially │
│ disappointed because they had hoped the FDA would greenlight the drug for an even broader group. Regeneron │
│ shares were down 2.5% in afternoon trading before they were halted pending news. │
│ But doctors may prescribe the drug more widely than the label suggests. A survey of physicians published this │
│ morning by Geoffrey Porges, an biotechnology analyst at investment bank Sanford C. Bernstein, found that they │
│ would use the drug in 30% to 40% of patients who had already had heart attacks. He wrote that 2020 sales of │
│ Praluent could be as high as $4.8 billion. │
│ In the survey, doctors expressed a preference for Praluent. One advantage of Regeneron's drug is that doctors │
│ will be able to start it at a lower, 75 milligram dose. │
│ Schleifer, who is a medical doctor and, incidentally, a billionaire thanks to his Regeneron stake, says that the │
│ company expects that as many as 8 million people who don't have their cholesterol well-controlled could be │
│ candidates for Praluent. He emphasized, though, that until larger studies prove the drug prevents heart attacks │
│ and strokes patients should always choose statins first. It will have sales representatives a │
│ Insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, who help insurers and employers manage drug costs, are │
│ going to do their best to restrict use of Praluent, though. Brennan, the CVS Caremark executive, says that he │
│ expects patients will need to have medical records documenting that they have already taken statins. Those not │
│ taking statins would need a blood test confirming that a statin caused elevations in muscle or liver enzymes, not │
│ just complaints that they were achy. "We're not trying to replace statins," says Schliefer, the Regeneron CEO. │
│ Most people who have muscle problems from statins do not have those elevated muscle enzymes, says Nissen, │
│ the Cleveland Clinic cardiologist, who is conducting a clinical trial Amgen and Pfizer, which is also developing │
│ a similar cholesterol drug. He says he has patients who are "desperate" to take a statin but who cannot tolerate │
│ it because of muscle pain but do not have elevated muscle enzymes. │
│ "Dehspite significant progress over the last decades, high cholesterol remains a leading concern in the U.S. and │
│ globally," said Olivier Brandicourt, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, Sanofi. "Praluent demonstrates the power of │
│ the Sanofi and Regeneron alliance to deliver a first-in-class therapy in the U.S. for patients in need. Sanofi │
│ has a │
│ strong cardiovascular heritage and dedication to these patients, and we look forward to working with other │
│ regulatory authorities to make Praluent available to patients worldwide." │
│ "We are grateful to the thousands of patients and investigators worldwide who participated in the ODYSSEY │
│ clinical trial program," said Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer, │
│ Regeneron. "Praluent represents the culmination of more than a decade of tireless work to translate the genetic- │
│ based discovery of PCSK9 into an innovative medicine that brings meaningful value to patients." │
│ The approval of Praluent was based on data from the pivotal Phase 3 ODYSSEY program, which showed │
│ consistent, positive results compared to placebo, which included current standard of care therapy (statins). In │
│ the │
│ ODYSSEY LONG TERM trial which evaluated Praluent 150 mg every two weeks, Praluent reduced LDL │
│ cholesterol by 58 percent versus placebo at week 24 when added to current standard of care, including │
│ maximally tolerated statins. In ODYSSEY COMBO I, Praluent 75 mg every two weeks as an adjunct to statins │
│ reduced LDL cholesterol by an additional 46 percent compared to placebo at week 12. At week 24 in the same │
│ trial, Praluent reduced LDL cholesterol by 43 percent compared to placebo. In this study, if additional LDL │
│ cholesterol lowering was required based on pre-specified criteria at week 8, Praluent was up-titrated to 150 mg │
│ at week 12 for the remainder of the trial. Eighty-three percent of patients remained on their initial 75 mg dose. │
│ Praluent is generally well-tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. Local injection site reactions including │
│ redness, itching, swelling or pain/tenderness where the injection is given were the most common events (7.2 │
│ percent with Praluent versus 5.1 percent with placebo) and resulted in a low discontinuation rate that was │
│ comparable to placebo (0.2 percent with Praluent versus 0.4 percent with placebo). Patients receiving Praluent │
│ had a greater number of injection site reactions, had more reports of associated symptoms, and had reactions of │
│ longer average duration than patients receiving placebo. Other common adverse events occurring more │
│ frequently in patients with Praluent than placebo included symptoms of the common cold and flu or flu-like │
│ symptoms. │
│ The companies carefully considered the potential medical value that Praluent offers patients in determining the │
│ Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC). The U.S. WAC price of Praluent is $40 per day ($1,120 every 28 days) for │
│ both the 75 mg and 150 mg doses, making Praluent the lowest priced patient-administered monoclonal antibody │
│ therapy on an annualized basis. Actual costs to patients, payers and health systems are anticipated to be lower │
│ as │
│ WAC pricing does not reflect discounts or rebates. Out-of-pocket costs to patients will vary depending on │
│ insurance status and eligibility for patient assistance. │
│ Sanofi and Regeneron are committed to ensuring that patients in the U.S. who are prescribed Praluent are able │
│ to access the medicine and receive the support they may need. The companies will launch a comprehensive │
│ program that offers support, training and follow up for patients at every step of the process. The program will │
│ provide patient assistance to uninsured or underinsured patients, including providing free medicine to eligible │
│ patients, and can help identify coverage options for out-of-pocket costs. Additional services include educational │
│ information, clinical support for physicians, nurses and pharmacists, as well as reimbursement services, │
│ including co-pay support for eligible patients and information about insurance eligibility support. For more │
│ information, please call 1-844-PRALUENT (1-844-772-5836 │
│ ). │
│ Earlier today, the companies announced that the European Medicine Agency's (EMA's) Committee for │
│ Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion for the marketing authorization of │
│ Praluent, recommending its approval for use in certain adult patients with hypercholesterolemia. The European │
│ Commission (EC) is expected to make a final decision on the Marketing Authorization Application for Praluent │
│ in the European Union in September 2015. │

│ ODYSSEY Program │
│ The ODYSSEY Phase 3 program is one of the most comprehensive clinical trial programs ever conducted for │
│ an investigational LDL cholesterol lowering therapy. The program includes 14 global Phase 3 trials evaluating │

│ Fareed Zakaria: Trump sells America short │
│ Dear Donald Trump: China, Japan and Mexico are not "killing us" │
│ By Fareed Zakaria, Thursday, September 17, 2015 │
│ Donald Trump's presidential bid is centered on the promise of his personal talents. He says he's the "most │
│ successful │
│ person ever to run for the presidency, by far." (George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower, sit down!) But if there │
│ is an │
│ idea animating his candidacy, it is that the United States is being badly beaten by its economic competitors. In │
│ his speech │
│ on foreign policy this week, Trump explained that America is being bested by countries such as China, Japan and │
│ Mexico │
│ because their leaders are "smarter, more cunning and sharper than our leaders." "They're killing us," he often │
│ says. │
│ This is an odd moment to make these charges because the reality is almost entirely the opposite. The United │
│ States is │
│ more dominant on the global economic landscape than at any point since the heyday of Bill Clinton's presidency — │
│ perhaps even more so. │
│ Last quarter, the U.S. economy grew at a 3.7 percent clip. Annual growth now is almost twice that of Europe and │
│ four │
│ times that of Japan. Unemployment is at 5.1 percent, the lowest in seven years. The deficit as a percentage of │
│ gross │
│ domestic product (2.8 percent in 2014) is at its lowest since 2007. │
│ "The U.S. has come out of the 2008 crisis better than all the others," says Ruchir Sharma, head of global macro │
│ investing │
│ at Morgan Stanley. "Americans have reduced their debt burden more than the Europeans, while China's debt has │
│ skyrocketed to extremely dangerous levels. If you look outside of China, U.S. growth is actually faster even than │
│ the │
│ emerging markets. Since the 2008 crisis, U.S. equity markets have outperformed all others — in fact 9 out of the │
│ 10 most │
│ valuable companies in the world are now American. The dollar is the currency of choice. Global growth is not what │
│ it │
│ used to be, but in a bad neighborhood, the U.S. has the best house by far." Sharma points out that for the past │
│ four │
│ years, the United States' share of global GDP has increased while Europe's and Japan's have moved down. │
│ When I was in Europe last week, businessmen there were concerned with what they saw as a new level of U.S. │
│ dominance in everything from technology to entertainment to finance. Consider America's big banks. They were at │
│ the │
│ epicenter of the financial crisis and were badly battered by it. Since then, bankers have complained that they've │
│ faced │
│ uncertainty about government policies, overzealous regulators trying to compensate for their laxness before the │
│ crisis │
│ and the unwieldy burdens of the Dodd-Frank law. │
│ Well, U.S. banks today are more dominant than ever. The Wall Street Journal notes that in the past five years, │
│ JPMorgan │
│ Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have increased in value by $254.6 billion. In │
│ the │
│ same period, their European competitors, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, UBS and Royal Bank of Scotland │
│ added │
│ just $9.5 billion. In July, Barclays Chairman John McFarlane was asked if America's banks were eating European │
│ lenders' │
│ lunch. He replied: "They are doing a good job of it." He added that the U.S. banks "are the only ones that really │
│ claim to │
│ be global and successful." │
│ To compare the United States' performance and leadership to Mexico's, Japan's and China's is particularly │
│ ill-timed. │
│ Trump might be stuck in a 1980s time warp on Japan. When his "The Art of the Deal" was published in 1987, │
│ Americans │
│ were envious of Japan's brilliant leaders, who were said to be outsmarting the United States at every turn. Since │
│ then, │
│ Japan has become the poster child for economic stagnation and political paralysis. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has │
│ been │
│ unwilling or unable to get his promised reforms enacted, and the country's economy continues to shrink. │
│ Mexico is watching its growth collapse. While its president, Enrique Pena Nieto, is a courageous and intelligent │
│ leader │
│ who has made some very bold decisions, he has also made some significant missteps. Most important, the country │
│ was │
│ ill-prepared for plunging oil prices that have battered government revenues and growth. │
│ China has had three decades of supercharged growth and competent government policy. But in the past few years, │
│ Beijing went on a borrowing binge, running up its total debt to levels that are unprecedented, according to │
│ Sharma. And │
│ in the past two months it has made mistakes in managing both its equity markets and currency — mistakes that have │
│ cost $400 billion, the Financial Times reports. │
│ Of course, the United States has problems that are worrying, such as wage stagnation and low labor-force │
│ participation. │
│ But the important comparison is not to some ideal fantasy of what America might be but to other countries in the │
│ real │
│ world. And the facts show, Mr. Trump, we're killing them. │

│ Steve Bannon's clever idea to save the GOP from brutal midterms │
│ By Fareed Zakaria, Friday, June 1, 2018 │
│ ROME -- The Republican Party faces dim prospects in the midterm elections. But it doesn't have to be that way, │
│ says │
│ Stephen K. Bannon, the chief ideologist of the populist wave that brought Donald Trump into the White House. "If │
│ the │
│ Republicans continue on the path they are on," Bannon told me Thursday, "they will lose 40 seats in the House and │
│ President Trump will be impeached." He presented an alternative that strikes me as clever, and it's a strategy │
│ that │
│ Trump himself seems to instinctively get. │
│ Bannon was in Rome to learn from and provide support to the unusual coalition of populists and nationalists who │
│ together won half the vote in Italy's recent elections and are now set to govern. Bannon sees that sort of │
│ coalition — │
│ mixing left and right, old and young — as his goal for the United States. "Europe is about a year ahead of the │
│ United │
│ States.... You see populist-nationalist movements with reform [here].... You could begin to see the elements of │
│ Bernie Sanders coupled with the Trump movement that really becomes a dominant political force in American │
│ politics." │
│ (This column draws on an on-air interview he did with me for CNN, as well as a subsequent conversation.) │
│ The Republican Party's strategy, for now, appears to be to make the midterm elections a series of local contests │
│ focusing │
│ on the tax cut and the healthy economy. Bannon views this as fundamentally misguided. "You have to nationalize │
│ the │
│ election," he said. Bannon understands that voters are moved from the gut more than through a wonky analysis of │
│ taxes. "This is going to be an emotional [election] — you're either with [House Minority leader] Nancy Pelosi or │
│ you're │
│ with Donald Trump.... Trump's second presidential race will be on Nov. 6 of this year." │
│ Bannon is most focused on the issue of immigration because it hits both the heart and the head. "Immigration is │
│ about │
│ not just sovereignty, it's about jobs." He believes that the Trump coalition can attract up to a third of Sanders │
│ supporters │
│ who see trade and immigration as having created unfair competition for jobs, particularly for working-class │
│ blacks and │
│ Hispanics. He advocates appealing directly to those voters, saying, "You're not going to be able to take the │
│ Hispanic and │
│ black community from the STEM system in grammar school to our best engineering schools ... to the great jobs in │
│ Silicon Valley, unless you start to limit these H-1B visas and this unfair competition ... from East Asia and │
│ South Asia." │
│ Now this strikes me as entirely wrong. The reason that not enough Hispanic and black students end up in Silicon │
│ Valley │
│ has much more to do with a broken education system, particularly for poorer kids, than the modest number of │
│ skilled │
│ Asian immigrants who get work visas. The most likely result of limiting these visas is that talented immigrants │
│ will simply │
│ go elsewhere — Canada, Britain, Australia — and start successful companies there. And, in fact, there is lots of │
│ evidence │
│ this is already happening. │
│ But Bannon is right that this is a brilliant electoral strategy. The idea of greater immigration controls has an │
│ undeniable │
│ mainstream appeal. The Democratic Party is too far to the left on many of these issues, embracing concepts such │
│ as │
│ sanctuary cities, which only reinforces its image as a party that is more concerned with race, identity and │
│ multiculturalism than the rule of law. │
│ Where Bannon is analytic and historical, Trump is instinctive. But the president appears to see the situation │
│ similarly. I │
│ wrote last month that Trump would try to fight the midterm elections on immigration and added, "Do not be │
│ surprised if │
│ Trump also picks a few fights with black athletes." In recent weeks, the president has labeled immigrant gang │
│ members │
│ "animals" and suggested that football players who silently protest police violence against blacks should leave │
│ the │
│ country. │
│ Bannon thinks Trump is just getting started in nationalizing the election around immigration. He predicted the │
│ next │
│ major battle would be over the proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. "The wall is not just totemic. The │
│ wall is │
│ absolutely central to his program.... As we come up on Sept. 30, if [Congress's] appropriations bill does not │
│ include │
│ spending to fully build his wall ... I believe he will shut down the government." │
│ Sadly, but not surprisingly, Bannon doesn't think the fighting and the rancor in the United States are going away │
│ any │
│ time soon. The "battle between nationalists and globalists is at the fundamental roots of what America is, what │
│ America │
│ will be," he said. "This is very healthy, and ... I think this is going to go on for a long time.... We've got a │
│ lot more │
│ fighting and a lot more scar tissue to go over." │

│ Lunch with Deepak I: LSD, Quantum │
│ Healing, and Plato │
│ A skeptic and a mystic seek common ground. Part one of four. │
│ Posted Jun 04, 2018 │
│ In March, I attended a debate on the proposition "The more we evolve, the less we need │
│ God," With Michael Shermer and Heather Berlin for the motion and Deepak Chopra and │
│ Anoop Kumar against the motion. The next day I published an account titled "Do Not │
│ Debate Deepak Chopra" (subtitle: "He's not even wrong."). Soon after, Chopra reached out │
│ to me and invited me to lunch. In April I met him in his office at Deepak Homebase in │
│ Manhattan, we had lunch downstairs at ABC Kitchen, and returned to his office. This is a │
│ nearly full transcript of our two-hour conversation. │
│ This is part 1 of 4. Here are parts 2, and │
│ Matt: So, I'm curious why you invited me, what you wanted to talk about. │
│ Deepak: I read your article, "Not Even Wrong." [Laughter.] That's been my label for a long │
│ time from a lot of people, so I thought I'd give you my perspective on what I think reality is │
│ and see if we can expand the conversation. │
│ Matt: So the debate, it seemed like it was ships crossing in the night. The two sides were │
│ talking about different things and so I think it was clear to___or everyone else had one │
│ conception about what the debate was going to be about: the usefulness of the idea of God as │
│ conceived in monotheistic religions. Whereas the two of you were___it seemed like you were │
│ avoiding that debate and talking about something else. │
│ Deepak: So let me give you a little background to that. The first time we were invited to the │
│ debate by the organizers____I didn't know who they were___the topic was, "As we evolve do │
│ we need religion?" So I called the organizers and I said, "Let me rephrase that if you don't │
│ mind. Can we say, As we evolve do we need religious experience?' So they said "We don't │
│ know what that means." I said, as I look across the religions of the world, the common │
│ features I see are: Number one: transcendence___as a religious experience, not the dogma, │
│ not the ideology, not the institution___but transcendence, going beyond subject-object split. │
│ Number two: the emergence of platonic values as a result of that experience, like the desire │
│ to know the truth, goodness, beauty, harmony, love, compassion, joy, equanimity, gratitude │
│ and humility, wonder, curiosity. It's very human but it gets overshadowed by everyday │
│ experience. And number three: a loss of the fear of death, because that happens to │
│ experience, not to the consciousness in which that experience occurs. I think they didn't │
│ understand that, honestly, so they rephrased it as "Do we need God?" So I said, "Listen, │
│ before I even go there, can we have a conversation?" So they were very gracious. We all got │
│ together with the board or whatever and we had a conversation. I said, "Honestly, God is a │
│ very loaded term and if by God we mean some imagined deity or some dead white male in │
│ the sky then it's not something that we can even address because we don't have that │
│ conception of God as an imagined deity." │
│ Matt: You mean that's not something you personally can address? │
│ Deepak: Yeah I can't address it, nor can my partner. They said, "Well if you make that clear │
│ up front, then it's fine, but we still want to maintain God in the title." So I was keen to have │
│ this conversation because Michael and I have been going back and forth for 30 years now, │
│ and I thought, Michael's come to a very good place with me personally. So we agreed to the │
│ title. But if you go to the Eastern wisdom traditions___Buddhism, Vedanta, Shaoism, all the │
│ Eastern traditions___then God is pure consciousness, period. So the debate, you're right, they │
│ were talking about the mythical God and we were talking about that which is inconceivable │
│ as consciousness but makes every concept possible. │
│ So I can give you a background on that because monotheistic religions are at war all the time │
│ amongst each other, and all of the problems in the world right now are a consequence of │
│ that. But nobody talks about "What is a religious or spiritual experience?" Hundreds of │
│ millions of people across the world don't have that idea at all that the monotheistic religions │
│ propose. In fact, if you go deep into the teachings of Buddhism, etc., the word God is not │
│ mentioned. Only consciousness is mentioned. Vedanta, only consciousness is mentioned. │
│ And it's a very different take on consciousness. So, if you'll allow me for a moment to │
│ explain that. So when I was a kid, I grew up in India with a father who was agnostic or │
│ atheist, who was trained in England as a cardiologist. He went on to become a very famous │
│ person. He discovered high altitude mountain sickness. When the Indian and Chinese army │
│ were fighting in Tibet he was putting catheters in people's hearts and measuring their │
│ cardiac pressures. He described high altitude pulmonary edema and hypertension. My │
│ mother was what you might call a Hindu. But even when she told us stories as kids and she │
│ talked about all these mythical gods and goddesses, she emphasized the fact that these are │
│ mythical, imaginary, symbolic expressions of deep aspirations in human consciousness to │
│ understand reality. Now she was also, by the way, she wasn't a very educated woman like │
│ my father was. But she had enough ideas in her upbringing to say that the world you │
│ experience as everyday reality is not real. She would say that probably because she had │
│ heard it an amount of times. But when you're a child, that sticks with you, that the world │
│ you experience is not real. So that's my childhood background until I went to medical │
│ school. Medical school, I embraced everything that my father had taught about reality being │
│ physical, material. He was actually more than___he was almost like Michael Shermer in the │
│ earlier days when I was growing up. │
│ Matt: How did your parents get along? │
│ Deepak: Oh he was a very loving person. │
│ Matt: Completely different philosophies. │
│ Deepak: Yeah but he was an amazing person in terms of being a physician. I mean this is │
│ long before technology. He could listen to a heart with a stethoscope and tell you, which you │
│ may or may not know, the PR interval, which means the difference in microseconds between │
│ the atrial and the ventricular beat, which you could verify on an electrocardiogram. He was │
│ astonishing as a diagnostician. He trained with Wallace Brigden in England who was one of │
│ the earlier pioneers in electrocardiography. He was a consultant to the royal heart hospital to │
│ the queen at one time before he came back to India, the British army. So, he was an amazing │
│ person but he was also very compassionate. On weekends he would see patients free of │
│ charge, and my mother would cook food for them and make sure they had enough money for │
│ their bus or their train. So there was a very compassionate aspect to him, but he didn't │
│ believe in religion or anything like that. │
│ So then when I went to medical school I totally embraced my father's constructs. Except for │
│ one or two experiences during medical school, which was in India by the way. And it was │
│ one of the newer medical schools after British independence, called the Indian Institute of │
│ Medical Sciences, and it was funded by, amongst other people, the Rockefeller Foundation, │
│ and so we had lots of international faculty. So in my fourth year of medical school, when the │
│ Beatles were in India___that's George Harrison behind you, by the way, in a turban sitting │
│ next to me. So that is a later picture but the Beatles came to India in 1969, when I was │
│ finishing my medical school. I didn't know these guys at that time. But Sergeant Pepper's │
│ had come out, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and we had four medical students as visitors │
│ to our classroom for the summer from Harvard. And they had with them a bunch of LSD. So │
│ my first experience was___and I was just near 18, when we had the first LSD experience. │
│ And then another one. Twice. And suddenly what my mother had been saying all these years │
│ about the world being an illusion was in the way an epiphany to me, at the age of 17. I mean │
│ I saw that the construction of___dissolving of boundaries like this, this, this and melting │
│ away. And then just colors and shapes and forms and sounds. And then a vast nothingness │
│ with no boundaries. But I was there. Not as a body, not as a mind, not as anything I could │
│ identify with, but just totally boundless. It was totally life-shifting at the age of 18 years. But │
│ then what happened is the medical school is very busy. You have to study, pass exams, this, │
│ that. And I put that aside, that experience side. │
│ Then at the age of 22, I came to the United States, and I had to do a lot of hardship to get │
│ here. My father wanted me to follow in his footsteps and be an academic. He was a │
│ professor, too, of cardiology. So I worked hard. India wasn't encouraging people to leave. I │
│ had to go to Sri Lanka to pass my exams, I had to borrow money to get a flight to the United │
│ States, I passed all that, I had to spend a year in New Jersey at a very ordinary community │
│ hospital, hard-working, and I got a residency in Boston with various hospitals with │
│ academics. So, Harvard, Tufts, BU, internal medicine, hard work, no thinking about │
│ consciousness whatsoever. Just passing one exam after another, getting one fellowship after │
│ another. │
│ And then I came here in 1970, July 1, basically as an intern in a hospital that no longer exists │
│ in New Jersey, MuhlenbergHospital, but then in the next year I got into all these academic │
│ institutions in Boston and went from one to another. I trained in internal medicine. And then │
│ I had heard vaguely of a discipline called neuroendocrinology, and I had also heard vaguely │
│ of this new revolution in medicine at that time, which was looking at peptides in the │
│ circulation. And the peptide that was very popular at that time was something called opiates, │
│ which are now popular again, and the opioid receptor, with somebody called George │
│ Solomon in Washington, who was an expert in that, but I discovered that the number one │
│ guy in the world in neuroendocrinology at that time was a professor at Tufts New England │
│ Medical Center, and his name was Seymour Reichlin and he was a legend. Okay, so, if you │
│ found a snake in his garden he would dissect it and look at the hypothalamus and identify │
│ receptors for opioids, serotonin, this and that. I'll show you his photo recently. I just met him │
│ the other day at the consciousness conference, which is bizarre because I hadn't met him in │
│ all these years. He's 94, and he was giving a lecture on serotonin and mystical experiences, │
│ at the age of 94, and he came to my lecture, and he was one of the most amazing guys in the │
│ world, actually. It was a real joy to meet him. This is him, let me show you. Anyway I'll │
│ show you his photo in a second. He's 94, he gives talks on serotonin, but he was a legend. │
│ I got a fellowship with him, and through him I met somebody who is no longer alive, │
│ Candace Pert, who had actually discovered the opioid receptor, and she and I met at a │
│ conference. She later became the chief of brain chemistry at the NIH. And she told me these │
│ molecules that we're talking about, serotonin, opiates, oxytocin, dopamine they are the │
│ molecules of emotion. So that's the first time I've heard that expression. I said, "You should │
│ write a book about it." She did. I wrote the foreword and it was for me one of the milestones │
│ of my life. And so I applied to Reichlin's fellowship and I got it, and it was like the most │
│ prestigious thing you could get. │
│ But then I had my own issues with medicine. Is this interesting to you? So I had my own │
│ issues, including the fact that I was seeing patients and I can see that the response was not │
│ predictable. You could give two patients the same disease and they had completely different │
│ outcomes. So at least in human beings, we didn't respond predictably. As does always occur, │
│ the bell-shaped curve, which there is to everything now. So, I started getting interested in │
│ mind-body medicine, and I would say I probably coined the phrase. In 1985 I wrote a book │
│ which nobody would accept, no publisher would accept, so I published it on my own, │
│ called Creating Health: Exploring the Mind-Body Connection. The book then was picked up │
│ by Houghton Mifflin and became at national bestseller. And I wrote another book │
│ called Quantum Healingwhich was vilified by the medical establishment because I was │
│ basically proposing, long before anybody was talking about entanglement, I was talking │
│ about the entanglement of mind, body, neuropeptides, molecules of emotion, etc., etc., from │
│ my own experience. But the books did very well with the lay public. The New England │
│ Journaldid a good review of Quantum Healing in 1988, but basically I'm still ridiculed for │
│ it by the regular medical establishment. │
│ Matt: Were you talking about quantum entanglement │
│ Deepak: I wasn't using the word quantum entanglement. I was talking about the fact that │
│ thoughts and molecules are inseparable, basically, and that between a thought and a │
│ molecule there's a gap, and that gap is consciousness. It's now 30 years since the book, and │
│ Rudy was my co-author. He's a neuroscientist at Harvard and the head of neuroscience at │
│ Mass General. He wrote the foreword to the reissue of Quantum Healing, which I'll send │
│ you, but it's almost now quaint with all that we know of now. But I used that word which │
│ annoyed a lot of people, including Richard Dawkins, who ridiculed me, and I said, "Listen, │
│ I'm using it as a metaphor." │
│ All science, I was saying, was a metaphor anyway, but it was then that I also got very │
│ interested in meditation. And then I went to India, and I spend about 10 years in India │
│ talking to these teachers, basically, of consciousness, where consciousness is fundamental │
│ reality, it is beyond thought or experience, and the word they use is pure consciousness. So I │
│ went through an experience with a teacher of meditation who basically asked me questions │
│ like I can ask you right now. What is this? [Matt: "It's a glass."] And what's this? [Matt: │
│ "Flower."] And what's this? [Matt: "A candle."] What's this?" [Matt: "A Sharpie."] "What's │
│ this?" [Matt: "A hand. Did I get them all right?"] So far. I said the same thing. But I was │
│ having a conversation with somebody, and he said to me, "Those are human │
│ constructs." And I was trying to tell this person, who was a meditation teacher, I was telling │
│ him about the molecules of emotion. Serotonin. He said they're not real. │
│ So that got me thinking, okay, and I seriously went into wanting to experience pure │
│ consciousness, which they all talk about, as transcendence, beyond subject-object split. So, │
│ this person that I had this conversation with, he said, "If you were a baby and you had no │
│ language, not exposed to any language, this would not be a hand. This would be a shape, a │
│ form, a color, maybe a smell, a texture, a sensation, as an activity of consciousness. But then │
│ you would be told, This is a hand, you have a body, and then you would have an │
│ interpretation of that experience, which you would call a thought. And then you would also │
│ be told, This is your body. You have a mind. You're Indian. And you come from a Hindu │
│ family.' All social constructs. Fundamental reality is sensory perception, which is an │
│ activation of consciousness, and its interpretation is thought. The rest is a story. Mind, body, │
│ and even universe is a story." Well, that was pretty mind-boggling for a young person at │
│ the age of 35. I'd already trained now, here. Slowly, that lead to how one construct leads to │
│ another construct. Okay, so this is an iPhone. It's matter. Well I have now reified sensory │
│ experience in consciousness, an activity of consciousness in consciousness, with a construct, │
│ iPhone. Then I reify it further, made of matter. And now this is very convenient. I can study │
│ it. It's made of molecules, made of atoms. So one construct leads to another construct, │
│ particles. Then you get ultimately to possibility waves and then you're stuck again. │
│ Okay [laughter], but along the chain, one construct built to another construct to another │
│ construct to another construct. Very useful. New York City is a construct. Latitude is a │
│ construct. Longitude is a construct. Time is it construct. Money is a construct. Wall Street is │
│ a construct. Religion is a construct. God is a construct. Universe is a construct, which you │
│ call a model, Okay. So, this led me to consciousness, exploring consciousness. Where now, │
│ you have___you know I just came from this conference, on the science of consciousness, │
│ where you have physicalists, you have dualists, you have panpsychists, you have idealists, │
│ and they're all arguing about the constructs. │
│ So the physicalists are now in a difficult position, because they're trying to explain │
│ consciousness with the construct of physicality, and you can't. Because physicality itself is a │
│ construct. Then you have the idealists going back to Plato who are saying it's all mental. But │
│ even mental ideas are constructs. Then you have the dualists, Descartes, the two are │
│ separate, mind and body. But then how do you explain their interaction? It violates simple │
│ laws like thermodynamics. If mind is separate and body is separate, how do I lift my arm? I │
│ start with a thought so I do this. How do I speak, how do I walk, how do I do anything? So, │
│ dualism doesn't make me happy. Idealism doesn't make me happy. Physicalism, I don't │
│ know what matter is anymore. │
│ I interviewed the Nobel laureate Wilczek, physicist from MIT. So I said, "What is │
│ matter?" "It's particles." I said, "What are particles, subatomic particles?" He says, "They are │
│ little things." I said, "But then everybody says that's a wave potential, that's in Hilbert space. │
│ What is that? Where is Hilbert space?" He says, "It's mathematical." "What is it?" "It's │
│ infinitely dimensional or zero dimensional." "Where is it?" The usual answer is "Shut up and │
│ calculate," right? So I realized that the entire new paradigm of multiverse, superstrings, │
│ eternal inflation, whatever, is all in mathematical imagination. Hilbert space is in │
│ mathematical imagination, the wave potential is in mathematical imagination. I said to │
│ Wilczek, "What is matter?" And he said, "We're still trying to figure that out." [Laughter.] I │
│ mean this is coming from a Nobel laureate who discovered a particle, you know. So I │
│ ended up where I began, which is non-dualism, that there is only consciousness. │
│ Matt: Isn't that idealism? │
│ Deepak: Idealism comes out of non-dualism. │
│ Matt: So there are two types of monism [non-dualism]. There's materialism and then there │
│ is idealism. [Each holds that] there's only matter or there's only consciousness. │
│ Deepak: Okay then we can say idealism is closest to non-duality. They don't use that word │
│ in the East. Let's go for lunch. [We head downstairs.] │
│ Deepak: With idealism one usually relates to Plato in the West or to Bishop Berkeley and │
│ all those guys, you know. But basically, what idealism espouses, it's mental. But non- │
│ dualism says even mental is a construct. When you say mental you have words. As soon as │
│ you have a word for an experience it's no longer fundamental. │
│ Matt: Non-dualism is a construct too. │
│ Deepak: If I have to use words, yes. │
│ Matt: There's no getting away from constructs. │
│ Deepak: No, there is a way of getting away from constructs. It's called transcendence. Shut │
│ up and just be. │
│ Matt: We never stop filtering experience │
│ Deepak: Every experience is filtered through given constructs. There is no getting away │
│ from it. But then we start looking at consciousness____let's find our table. [We find our table.] │

│ Palm Beach sex offender's secret plea deal: │
│ Possible co-conspirators not charged, presses │
│ victims to settle civil suits │
│ By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL │
│ Palm Beach Post Staff Writer │
│ Friday, September 18, 2009 │
│ WEST PALM BEACH — Billionaire financier sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's secret non-prosecution agreement he │
│ struck with federal prosecutors was unsealed Friday, offering the first public look at the deal Epstein's │
│ high-powered │
│ legal counsel brokered on his behalf. │
│ According the agreement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office investigated Epstein │
│ for various federal crimes, including prostitution, some punishable by a minimum of 10 years up to life in prison │
│ But federal prosecutors backed down and agreed to recall grand jury subpoeanas, if Epstein pleaded guilty to │
│ prostitution-related felonies in state court, which he ultimately did. He received an 18-month jail sentence, of │
│ which │
│ he served 13. │
│ A former federal prosecutor of 15 years, Mark Johnson of Stuart, said the disparity in the potential sentences │
│ was │
│ unusual. │
│ The United States Attorney's Office also agreed not to charge any of Epstein's possible co-conspirators - Sarah │
│ Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff and Nadia Marcinkova. │
│ The agreement was negotiated in part by New York heavyweight criminal defense attorney Gerald Lefcourt. │
│ On its first draft in September 2007, it required that Epstein pay an attorney - tapped by the U.S. Attorney's │
│ Office │
│ and approved by Epstein - to represent some of the victims in civil suits they had filed against Epstein. That │
│ attorney is prominent Miami lawyer Bob Josefsberg. │
│ Former prosecutor Johnson said he has never seen a provision like that before. │
│ But an addendum to the agreement signed the following month struck Epstein's duty to pay Josefsberg if he and the │
│ victims did not accept a settlement and instead pursued litigation. │
│ The agreement, signed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Maria Villafana, does not expressly state whether any victims │
│ were contacted or consulted before the deal was made. │
│ Attorney Brad Edwards of Fort Lauderdale, who represents three of the young women, believes that none of the │
│ between 30 and 40 woman identified as victims in the federal investigation were told of the deal. Edwards said │
│ his │
│ clients were still receiving letters in the mail months afterwards saying the U.S. Attorney's Office assuring │
│ them │
│ Epstein would be prosecuted. │
│ "Never consulting the victims is probably the most outrageous aspect of it..." Edwards said. "It taught them that │
│ someone with money can buy his way out of anything. It's outrageous and embarrassing for United States │
│ Attorney's Office and the State Attorneys Office." │
│ Epstein now faces many civil lawsuits filed by the women, who are represented by a variety attorneys. In many, │
│ the │
│ facts alleged are the same: that Epstein had a predilection for teenage girls, identified poor, vulnerable ones │
│ and │
│ lured them to his home via other young women. The teens describe ascending a staircase lined with nude │
│ photographs of young girls and to the spa room where Epstein would appear in a small towel. │
│ Former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, who represents one of the victims, and The Palm Beach Post sought the │
│ unsealing of the agreement. Berger refers to it as a "sweetheart deal." │
│ "Why was it so important for the government to make this deal?" Berger asked rhetorically. "We have not yet had │
│ honest explanation by any public official as to why it was made .. and why the victim's were sold down the │
│ river." │
│ Former federal prosecutor Ryon McCabe described the agreement as "very unorthodox." Such agreements, he said, │
│ are usually reserved for corporations, not individuals. │

│ "It's very, very rare. I've never seen or heard of the procedure that was set up here." said McCabe, who has no │
│ involvement in any Epstein litigation and is now a securities litigation attorney. │
│ "He's essentially avoiding federal prosecution because he can afford to pay that many lawyers to help those │
│ victims │
│ review their cases.... If a person has no money he couldn't be able to strike a deal like this and avoid federal │
│ prosecution." │
│ The back-room deal with federal prosecutors all the more interesting in light of the legal heavyweights who have │
│ worked for Epstein, including Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr of Clinton impeachment fame. │
│ Lefcourt is a past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. │
│ Epstein's local defense attorney, Jack Goldberger, issued a statement Friday saying he had fought the release of │
│ the sealed agreement to protect the third parties named there. "Mr. Epstein has fully abided by all of its terms │
│ and │
│ conditions. He is looking forward to putting this difficult period in his life behind him. He is continuing his │
│ long │
│ standing history of science philanthropy..." │
│ Epstein ended up avoiding federal charges, and pleaded guilty in state court to felony solicitation of │
│ prostitution and │
│ procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. In July 2008, he was sentenced to 18 months in jail, and │
│ later allowed out up to six days a week on work release. │
│ Epstein left the jail in late July 2009 after serving not quite 13 months of the sentence, having earned gain │
│ time for │
│ good behavior. │
│ Palm Beach Police began investigating the "international moneyman of mystery," as the New York magazine │
│ dubbed him, after they received a complaint from a relative of a 14-year-old girl who had given Epstein a naked │
│ massage at his home on the Intracoastal Waterway. │
│ Police sought and found in poor neighborhoods a variety of tall, thin, model-like young women, who told stories │
│ of │
│ begin recruiting, then going to Epstein's home and massaging and stimulating him. They walked away with between │
│ $200 and $1,000. │
│ The investigation triggered tensions between police and prosecutors, with then-Chief Michael Reiter saying in a │
│ May 2006 letter to then-State Attorney Barry Krischer that the chief prosecutor should disqualify himself. │
│ "I continue to find your office's treatment of these cases highly unusual," Reiter wrote. He then asked for and │
│ got │
│ the federal investigation that ended in the sealed deal. │
│ "The Jeffrey Epstein matter was an experience of what a many-million-dollar defense can accomplish," Reiter told │
│ the Palm Beach Daily News upon his retirement. │

│ Judge: Palm Beach sex offender Jeffrey Epstein │
│ agreement to remain sealed │
│ By MICHELE DARGAN │
│ Palm Beach Daily News Staff Writer │
│ Tuesday, February 17, 2009 │
│ A federal judge has ruled that a non-prosecution document under which the government agreed not to pursue │
│ federal charges against sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will remain under seal - at least for now. │
│ The U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's lawyers reached the agreement before Epstein pleaded guilty to state │
│ felony charges, and the document is under seal in Epstein's state criminal file. │
│ Representing two of Epstein's victims, attorney Brad Edwards asked to have the document unsealed as part of his │
│ federal lawsuit against the Manhattan money manager. Although Edwards and his victims have seen the │
│ agreement, Edwards says in his pleadings that the government has "inaccurately described the agreement ... │
│ creating a false impression that the agreement protects the victims." │
│ U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled that the claims, even if true, haven't damaged Edwards' case. │
│ "If and when such alleged mischaracterizations become relevant to an issue to be decided by the court, the │
│ parties │
│ will be given the opportunity to advance their positions and the court will resolve the issue," he wrote. "If │
│ disclosure │
│ of the agreement will be required for the court to resolve this issue, appropriate disclosure will be ordered." │
│ Seeking to keep the agreement sealed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Dexter Lee argued that the agreement is not part of │
│ any case before Marra. │
│ "The non-prosecution agreement has never been filed under seal in federal court," he wrote. │
│ He also denied that the agreement has been inaccurately described. │
│ Marra sided with Lee on the argument that the agreement was not filed in federal court "under seal or otherwise." │
│ On Aug. 14, Marra ruled that the non-prosecution agreement would be unsealed for Edwards and any of the victims │
│ who want to see it. But the ruling bars Edwards and anyone else who sees the document from disclosing the terms │
│ to anyone else. │
│ In his motion to unseal, Edwards said he wants to be able to discuss the terms of the agreement with other │
│ victims │
│ and their attorneys as well as with other victims' rights groups such as the National Alliance of Victims' Rights │
│ Attorneys. │
│ The desire to discuss the agreement with third parties is not justification for unsealing the document, Marra │
│ ruled. │
│ "If a specific tangible need arises in a civil case relief should be sought in that case," he wrote. │
│ Epstein, 56, is serving 18 months in jail for soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. │
│ Under the agreement, federal prosecutors will defer their decision on whether to prosecute Epstein on federal │
│ charges until 90 days after Epstein completes all requirements of his state sentence. │
│ If he abides by all court conditions and restrictions, the federal case would be dropped. │
│ In addition to the state criminal case, there are nine federal and seven state lawsuits pending against Epstein. │
│ All contain similar allegations: The Manhattan money manager, through his employees and assistants, brought │
│ minor girls to his Palm Beach home at 358 El Brillo Way for erotic massages and sometimes sex. │

│ HEADLINE: JUDGE TO RULE ON SEALED PLEA-DEAL PAPERS TODAY │
│ BYLINE: MICHELE DARGAN, MICHELE DARGAN, Daily News Staff Writer │
│ BODY: │
│ A circuit judge will decide today whether the public will be privy to the federal government's non-prosecution │
│ deal │
│ with Jeffrey Epstein, which was sealed when the convicted sex offender pleaded guilty in June 2008 to two felony │
│ counts. │
│ Epstein, of Palm Beach, will be released from the Palm Beach County Stockade July 22, after serving less than 13 │
│ months of his 18- month sentence for procuring a minor for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. │
│ Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office, confirmed his release date Tuesday. │
│ Epstein's projected release date had been Sept. 24, but gain time -- which includes his participation in a │
│ work-release program -- moves the date up to July 22, Barbera said. │
│ Epstein, 56, has been in the work-release program since Oct. 10, in which he is allowed out of the stockade six │
│ days │
│ a week, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., to go to his West Palm Beach office, the Florida Science Foundation, monitored │
│ by an │
│ ankle bracelet and accompanied by a deputy. │
│ As part of Epstein's state plea agreement, the U.S. Attorneys Office agreed not to prosecute Epstein on federal │
│ charges as long as he fulfills all requirements of his sentence and probation. The federal non-prosecution │
│ agreement has │
│ been under seal in state court. │
│ Epstein's attorney Jack Goldberger filed court papers asking that the documents stay sealed for the following │
│ rea- │
│ sons: "to prevent a serious imminent threat to the fair, impartial and orderly administration of justice; to │
│ protect a com- │
│ pelling government interest; to avoid substantial injury to innocent third parties and to avoid substantial │
│ injury to a party │
│ by disclosure of matters protected by a common law and privacy right, not generally inherent in these specific │
│ type of │
│ proceedings, sought to be closed." │
│ Fort Lauderdale-based attorney Brad Edwards represents three Epstein victims and has asked Circuit Judge Jeffrey │
│ Colbath to unseal the federal agreement to the public. An attorney for The Palm Beach Post also has asked that │
│ the rec- │
│ ords be unsealed. │
│ Edwards and his clients have seen the agreement after a federal judge ruled that they are allowed to see it. But │
│ that │
│ ruling bars Edwards and anyone else who sees the document from disclosing the terms to anyone else. │
│ Edwards said he wants to use that document "in the deposition of various material witnesses" relative to his │
│ cases. │
│ Page 2 │
│ JUDGE TO RULE ON SEALED PLEA-DEAL PAPERS TODAY Palm Beach Daily News June 25, 2009 Thursday │
│ Radaronline.com has reported that Epstein has "secretly been helping the feds unravel a Ponzi scheme" related to │
│ the June 2008 indictment of two former managers of Bear Stearns Mortgage Investment Fund. │
│ Epstein's rep, Howard Rubenstein, confirmed last year that Epstein is "Major Investor No. 1" in the indictment, │
│ which says he lost about $57 million. │
│ Goldberger could not be reached for comment. │
│ The Manhattan money manager has been incarcerated since June 30, when he pleaded guilty to the two felony │
│ counts. As part of the plea agreement, Epstein must serve one year of house arrest after his release and register │
│ as a life- │
│ long sex offender. │
│ In addition to the criminal case, there are more than a dozen civil lawsuits -- both state and federal -- pending │
│ against Epstein. All contain similar allegations: Epstein, through his employees and assistants, brought minor │
│ girls to his │
│ Palm Beach home on El Brillo Way for erotic massages and sometimes sex. │

│ Ghislaine Maxwell, the British brunette whose father once │
│ owned the Daily News, has been slapped with a subpoena in │
│ suits brought by 24 underage girls against her old friend, │
│ billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Maxwell -- whose press-lord father, Robert Maxwell, died in │
│ 1991 after falling into the Atlantic off his yacht, the Lady │
│ Ghislaine -- was served with a subpoena on Sept. 22 at 6:45 │
│ p.m. as she was leaving the Clinton Global Initiatives │
│ Conference at the Sheraton Hotel. │
│ Florida lawyer Brad Edwards, who represents three of the │
│ "Jane Does" who are suing Epstein, told Page Six that │
│ Maxwell would be questioned over her knowledge of how │
│ Epstein procured many of the girls. │
│ Epstein is accused in the civil complaints of luring underage │
│ girls to his mansion in Palm Beach to give him massages, │
│ during which he allegedly engaged them in sexual activity and │
│ paid them hundreds of dollars each. A grand jury indicted │
│ Epstein on a charge of felony solicitation of prostitution. │
│ Epstein, who pleaded guilty and did 12 months in prison, was │
│ deposed last week in the offices of his lawyer, Jack │
│ Goldberger. │
│ Goldberger wouldn't comment, but a friend of Epstein said, │
│ "These [people bringing the complaint] are the lowest of the │
│ lows in terms of ambulance-chasing lawyers." The trials are │
│ scheduled to start in February. │
│ Nadia Marcinkova, who has been described as Epstein's │
│ lesbian sex slave and who visited him behind bars 67 times, │
│ has also been served with a subpoena. │
│ Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, who has a real-estate │
│ holding company in New York, has already been deposed │
│ about a building he owns, 301 E. 66th St. "Jeffrey rents │
│ several apartments there where he keeps his girls, alleged │
│ models for the MC2 agency he owns," Edwards said. "But │
│ Mark acts like he doesn't even know his brother. He was │
│ extremely angry and rude and cursed me out." │

│ HEADLINE: HEARING SET TO CONSIDER SECRECY OF PLEA BARGAIN │
│ BYLINE: Susan Spencer-Wendell The Palm Beach Post │
│ BODY: │
│ A Palm Beach Circuit Court judge will not immediately unseal a deal that wealthy Palm Beach money manager │
│ Jeffrey Epstein made with federal prosecutors to avoid charges. │
│ Circuit Judge Jeff Colbath acknowledged, though, at a hearing last week that Epstein's deal was not sealed in ac- │
│ cordance with state and local court rules. │
│ "I don't see where any of the procedures were ever followed to begin with," Colbath said. │
│ Colbath also set a full hearing on the matter for June 25. │
│ Attorneys for young women now suing Epstein, together with The Palm Beach Post, are asking Colbath to unseal │
│ the deal that Epstein made with federal prosecutors. │
│ "Ifs a secret agreement, a secret sweetheart agreement," said former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, who represents │
│ some of the women. "Everybody was in on this deal except the victims and the public. The public should be │
│ outraged it │
│ has gone as far as it has." │
│ Brad Edwards, a second attorney representing the women, has seen the sealed deal after a federal judge allowed │
│ him and his clients to view it, but would not discuss its contents. │
│ Edwards would say only that the women were "outraged" that it had been negotiated behind their backs. │
│ A reporter asked Edwards whether he thought Epstein received special treatment by federal prosecutors. │
│ "Are you kidding? Its transparent. Certainly, no one else gets treated like that," Edwards said. │
│ Epstein, 56, a reported money manager of billionaires, is serving an 18-month sentence in the Palm Beach County │
│ Stockade after pleading guilty almost a year ago in state court to felony solicitation of prostitution and │
│ procuring teen- │
│ agers for prostitution. Epstein is allowed out, though, each day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., a Sheriffs Office │
│ spokesman │
│ said. │
│ Displeased with the way the State Attorneys Office handled the case, Palm Beach police forwarded information to │
│ the FBI. │

│ HEADLINE: EPSTEIN PLEA DEAL TO REMAIN SEALED FOR NOW │
│ BYLINE: DAVID ROGERS, DAVID ROGERS, Daily News Staff Writer │
│ BODY: │
│ The plea deal that part-time Palm Beacher Jeffrey Epstein agreed to several months ago to avoid federal charges │
│ will remain sealed for the time being. │
│ Lawyers for The Palm Beach Post and a woman who claimed Epstein solicited and procured her for sex at his El │
│ Brillo Way home while she was underage asked Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath Wednesday morning │
│ to unseal the plea documents immediately. │
│ Instead, Colbath decided to leave the documents sealed and give Jack Goldberger, the attorney representing Ep- │
│ stein, until 1 p.m. Friday to file papers showing why the records should remain out of public view. │
│ Colbath agreed to let the Post and "E.W." have standing in the case and set a hearing on whether the documents │
│ should be unsealed for 1:30 p.m. June 25. │
│ Epstein agreed in September 2007 to plead to state charges to avoid federal prosecution, Goldberger told County │
│ Judge Deborah Pucillo at Epstein's plea conference last year. │
│ The sealing of the records in question was said to be a "significant inducement" for Epstein, who is serving 18 │
│ months in the Palm Beach County Stockade -- with daytime release -- and is facing several civil lawsuits in state │
│ and │
│ federal courts by more than a dozen alleged victims. │
│ Colbath said, "I don't see where any of the proper procedures to seal the documents were ever followed ..." but │
│ that │
│ he would give Epstein's legal team the ability to "jump through the hoops to seal the documents if they are │
│ entitled in │
│ fact to be sealed." │
│ The sealing of court documents in Florida is unusual and lawyers typically have to prove a significant reason for │
│ it, │
│ such as protecting trade secrets or a compelling government interest. │
│ Goldberger said after the hearing there is no rush to unseal the plea deal. │
│ "I think the records clearly need to be sealed and continue to be sealed but I think the ruling by Judge Colbath │
│ was a │
│ very well- reasoned practical decision," Goldberger said. "He is not getting special treatment." │
│ Brad Edwards, of the law firm of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler of Fort Lauderdale, said the plea deal should be a │
│ public record. His firm represents the woman, now 20, who was identified only as E.W. │
│ Page 2 │
│ EPSTEIN PLEA DEAL TO REMAIN SEALED FOR NOW Palm Beach Daily News June 11, 2009 Thursday │
│ Whether procedure was followed is not the issue, he said. │
│ "Certainly it should be unsealed regardless. I mean this is a very unusual circumstance where a document like │
│ this │
│ would be sealed," Edwards said. "None of the other criminal defendants in there (Judge Colbath's courtroom) had │
│ their │
│ plea bargains, plea agreements, their non-prosecution agreements, sealed." │
│ Edwards said his firm represents three women who claim they were procured for sex with Epstein when they were │
│ underage. The three are outraged that the document is under wraps, Edwards said. │
│ Deanna Shullman, the attorney representing the Post, said the public and the press have a constitutional right of │
│ ac- │
│ cess to public records in Florida. │
│ "Fortunately, the status quo is openness. So I think the judge has the idea that the initial closure was done │
│ without │
│ any adherence to those procedures but was inclined to give Mr. Epstein's lawyers additional time to prove that │
│ they │
│ should be sealed in accordance with these procedures," Shullman said. │
│ Its a little disappointing in that we would have liked to see the judge unseal the record because that's what │
│ should │
│ be the status quo in a situation like this, Shullman said. │

│ BODY: │
│ EXPECT more media firms to announce plans to charge for content online in early 2010. City Spy hears that busi- │
│ ness-to-business publisher United Business Media is the latest outfit which is thinking of ramping up its │
│ subscription │
│ model. Property Week and Building are among the titles which recently started asking users to register their │
│ details to │
│ keep reading stories, which is seen as a possible precursor to charging. │
│ BUSINESSES TIPPED TO COME A CROPPER │
│ AMID all the contradictory forecasts for recovery or double-dip recession in 2010, what do the insolvency practi- │
│ tioners say? City Spy's mole in the bean-counting world says the last quarter of 2009 was surprisingly quiet as │
│ the │
│ economy stabilised but they are not optimistic about the new year: "We reckon there's going to be a rush of │
│ insolvencies │
│ in the second quarter, after the end of the financial year." The next quarterly rent review is due tomorrow, │
│ Christmas │
│ Day, then again at the end of March. But given the number of "seasonal sales" that started on the High Street at │
│ least a │
│ week before Christmas, it would be no surprise to see some retailers come a cropper sooner... │
│ EPSTEIN PILOT TAKES TO THE ROAD │
│ FURTHER news reaches City Spy of former Bear Stearns trader, Prince Andrew's shooting companion and con- │
│ victed sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ The ex-Wall Street star served 13 months in jail on criminal charges of soliciting prostitution and procuring a │
│ minor │
│ for prostitution and he now faces civil claims from young women accusing him of having unlawful sex with them. │
│ This │
│ week, City Spy recounted how Epstein had transferred the title deeds of his prized 2003 Ferrari 575M Maranello to │
│ his │
│ private pilot Larry Visoki, prior to the car going on sale for $159,000 (£99,000) (possibly to help Epstein pay │
│ his legal │
│ bills). It turns out, the same Visoki was deposed last week by Bradley Edwards, an attorney for three of the │
│ women su- │
│ ing Epstein. Questioned by Edwards about plane passengers who might have witnessed Epstein in the company of │
│ young girls, Visoki admitted Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, former │
│ Colombian │
│ president Andres Pastrana Arango, Obama economic adviser Lawrence Summers, billionaire Ron Burkle, and actors │
│ Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker had been on board the plane while young girls were present. Fortuitously for │
│ Epstein, │
│ however, Ferrari-selling Visoki swore on oath that he never suspected his boss of having sex with them. │
│ Of course not, Larry. Now drive off into the sunset. │
│ More on Prince Andrew, our special representative for international trade and investment. The European Parliament │
│ and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe have strongly condemned Azerbaijan for tightening │
│ re- │
│ strictions on the media and jailing two bloggers who were critical of the government. It transpires the oil-rich │
│ country │
│ has long blocked BBC broadcasts there, which might explain why oft-criticised Andrew and former Prime Minister │
│ Tony Blair spend so much time visiting the sometime Soviet State. │
│ What does the snow have in common with the recession? Every other country can get out of both but Britain can't │
│ get out of either. HAPPY news: private jet travel is back, reports the Wall Street Journal. Alas, there is a │
│ "but" [#x2039] │

│ in-flight food remains in recession. Apparently, those who supply food to executive aircraft are seeing demand │
│ soar │
│ after a slump, but says one caterer: "No one is eating lobster. A quick turkey box lunch is the order of the │
│ day." Of │
│ course, that has nothing to do with the industry being desperate to re-brand itself as time-saving and │
│ cost-efficient. │
│ WHICH insurance broker saw a compliance officer pass out after the office Christmas lunch and have to be taken │
│ to hospital? │
│ WHO MADE OFF WITH THE MONEY? IT's a year since the Bernie Madoff affair blew up and the hedge fund │
│ king was found to have been ripping off his clients. If he was in Britain the old fi-audster would still be at │

│ HEADLINE: ATTORNEY FOR EPSTEIN VICTIMS: 1 HAVE NEVER SEEN A STRANGER CASE' │
│ BYLINE: MICHELE DARGAN, MICHELE DARGAN, Daily News Staff Writer │
│ BODY: │
│ Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could have been charged with multiple counts of five federal offenses involving sex │
│ acts with minors and faced a life sentence, but, instead, the government agreed not to prosecute him or his │
│ procurers if │
│ he spent 18 months in the county jail on two state charges. │
│ Those were the details unsealed Friday in a nine-page federal non- prosecution agreement that lets Epstein and │
│ co-conspirators Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff and Nadia Marcinkova off the hook for any of those past │
│ crimes. │
│ "He could have gone to prison for life and somehow he's getting immunity in exchange for nothing?" said Fort │
│ Lauderdale attorney Brad Edwards, who represents three Epstein victims. "I have never seen a stranger case. To │
│ me, its │
│ more spectacular what's not in it. Its the U.S. Attorneys Office saying well do everything in our power to see he │
│ doesn't │
│ get punished." │
│ Edwards has been fighting for a year in federal and state court to unseal the agreement. │
│ "The non-prosecution agreement raises more questions than it answers," said Miami attorney Adam Horowitz, who │
│ represents seven victims. "Why did all the co-conspirators receive immunity? Why were the victims not consulted │
│ re- │
│ garding the sentence? Why did he receive such a minimal sentence? │
│ The federal deal has remained sealed in Epstein's state court file since he pleaded guilty in June 2008 to state │
│ charges of procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. │
│ U.S. Attorneys Office does not comment │
│ The federal charges he could have faced were: conspiracy to persuade minor females to engage in prostitution, │
│ conspiracy to travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minor females, persuading minor females to engage │
│ in pros- │
│ titution, traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minor females and causing a person under 18 years to │
│ engage │
│ in sex for money while knowing they are underage. │
│ The charges carry various statutory penalities ranging from 10 years to life, with a minimum mandatory of at │
│ least │
│ 10 years. │
│ Alicia Valle, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Miami, declined comment. │

│ September 20, 2009 Sunday │
│ North Palm Beach criminal defense attorney Barry Maxwell said he is not surprised that federal charges weren't │
│ filed. │
│ "My experience has been that the federal government does not intervene in sex-assault cases, except if were deal- │
│ ing with a serial rapist or it crosses jurisdictional lines," Maxwell said. "Ifs either not a big enough case or │
│ not atrocious │
│ enough for them." │
│ Epstein, 56, served 13 months of his 18-month sentence at the Palm Beach County Stockade and received liberal │
│ work-release privileges while in jail. He was able to go to his West Palm Beach office six days a week for up to │
│ 16 │
│ hours a day. │
│ He is now serving one year of probation at his Palm Beach mansion and is registered as a lifelong sex offender. │
│ Epstein 'fully abided' by deal, says defense │
│ Epstein's attorney Jack Goldberger released the following statement: "This document relates to allegations that │
│ were made many years ago. It was by its provisions and agreement of the parties to remain confidential in part to │
│ protect │
│ the identities of collateral third parties. │
│ "Mr. Epstein has fully abided by all of its terms and conditions. He is looking forward to putting this difficult │
│ peri- │
│ od of his life behind him. He is continuing his longstanding history of science philanthropy both here in South │
│ Florida │
│ and nationwide." │
│ Goldberger had blocked the unsealing by filing court papers asking that the documents stay sealed "to prevent a │
│ se- │
│ rious imminent threat to the fair, impartial and orderly administration of justice; to protect a compelling │
│ government │
│ interest; to avoid substantial injury to innocent third parties; and to avoid substantial injury to a party by │
│ disclosure of │
│ matters protected by a common law and privacy right, not generally inherent in these specific type of │
│ proceedings, │
│ sought to be closed." │
│ Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath ordered the agreement to be unsealed in June, but Epstein's attorneys appealed the │
│ ruling to the Fourth District Court of Appeals, which affirmed Colbath's ruling. Colbath had ruled that the │
│ federal │
│ agreement -- sealed in state court -- was improperly sealed. │
│ felt it was my fault' │
│ More than a dozen lawsuits against the billionaire money manager have been filed in federal and state court, all │
│ with similar allegations: that a minor girl was taken to Epstein's mansion on El Brillo Way and led upstairs to a │
│ spa │
│ room by one of Epstein's assistants, where he would ask the girl to perform massages and/or various sex acts, for │
│ which │
│ he would pay her. │
│ One victim, who is known as Jane Doe #5 in a federal court lawsuit against Epstein, said she didn't find out │
│ about │
│ the deal until after it was finalized. She was 15 at the time one of her schoolmates told her she could make $200 │
│ by giv- │
│ ing a massage to a man in Palm Beach. │
│ She says she was "nervous and scared and wanted to leave" once she got to Epstein's spa room. │
│ "I thought, 1 can't call my dad or my mom because Pm stuck in this situation and didn't know what to do," she │
│ said. │
│ "I really didn't know what this man was capable of For a long time, I felt like it was my fault and that's │
│ exactly what he │
│ wanted me to feel." │
│ Epstein has curfew │
│ While he is serving the 12 months of house arrest at his Palm Beach home, Epstein must observe a 10 p.m. to 6 │
│ a.m. curfew, have no unsupervised contact with anyone younger than 18 and not view, own or possess pornographic │
│ or │
│ sexual materials. │
│ The indictment followed an 11-month investigation by Palm Beach police, who said Epstein paid five underage │
│ girls for massages and sometimes sex at his El Brillo Way home. Then-State Attorney Barry Krischer declined to │
│ pros- │
│ ecute Epstein on multiple charges involving unlawful sex acts with minors. Instead, he brought the case to a │
│ grand jury, │
│ which charged Epstein on the lesser charge of soliciting prostitution. │
│ Then-Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter wrote Krischer a letter asking him to recuse himself from the case. │
│ When that didn't happen, Reiter requested an FBI investigation to determine if any federal laws were broken. │

│ Out of the ordinary' │
│ West Palm Beach criminal defense attorney Gregg Lerman said several aspects of the Epstein case are unusual. │
│ "I don't understand why it would be a federal case in this circumstance, and why was there anything in writing at │
│ all │
│ and why did they seal the agreement?" Lerman said. "Why did it go to the grand jury instead of through the state │
│ filing │
│ lewd assault charges? That's unusual. And its very unusual that they structure a plea to get county time rather │
│ than │
│ prison time. That's definitely out of the ordinary. Nobody goes to county jail as a state criminal punishment." │

│ Printable Version │
│ Ise attorneys for two girls who contend they were assaulted by billionaire and Rights/Reprints │
│ cted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein filed court papers on Monday claiming the │
│ i U.S. Attorney's office violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by signing a nonprosecution agreement with │
│ Epstein │
│ ut notifying them, the Palm Beach Daily News reported. │
│ Epstein served 13 months in jail from June 2008 to July 2009 for one state count of soliciting │
│ an underage girl for prostitution. As a result, he is required to register as a sex offender. While │
│ he wasn't prosecuted for additional charges, more than 40 girls under the age of 18 say they │
│ came to his home and gave him massages. During the massages, they say, he masturbated │
│ and sexually assaulted them. │
│ Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, attorneys representing two of his alleged victims, say in │
│ the filing that the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of Florida of deliberately │
│ misled the victims by telling them there was an ongoing investigation into their claims. │
│ However, they say, the office was concealing the fact that they already had signed a │
│ -osecution deal with Epstein. │
│ -ding to the motion, the U.S. Attorney's office in January 2008 and May 2008 sent "false notification" letters in │
│ to │
│ in's alleged victims saying "(t)his case is currently under investigation." However, the office had signed the │
│ agreement │
│ Epstein in September 2007. │
│ ittorneys want a court hearing during which they will ask that the agreement be invalidated because it violated │
│ the │
│ is' rights. In the motion, the attorneys claim the agreement is illegal because the government did not protect │
│ the │
│ Iressionally mandated rights of victims before it entered this agreement." │
│ dge grants the request, Epstein could be charged by the U.S. Attorney's office. If he were charged and convicted │
│ on │
│ al charges, he could be sentenced to 10 years to life for each charge. │
│ -ding to the motion, "The only reason that the (U.S. Attorney's office) concealed the existence of the │
│ non-prosecution │
│ r'nent from the victims was not to comply with some legal restriction, but rather to avoid a firestorm of public │
│ )versy that would have erupted if the sweetheart plea deal with a politically connected billionaire had been │
│ revealed." │
│ Valle, special counsel for the U.S. Attorney's Office Southern District of Florida, in an email to the newspaper │
│ that the │
│ kttorney's office will respond in court filings. │
│ ever, as we stated more than two years ago in July 2008 in our response to the plaintiffs' then-emergency │
│ petition for │
│ cement of the Crime Victim Rights Act, the CVRA was not violated because no federal charges were ever filed in │
│ the │
│ lem District of Florida," Valle said. "Because the matter remains pending in court, it would be inappropriate at │
│ this time │
│ wide additional comment on the merits of the current motion." │

│ Court papers filed Monday say the U.S. Attorney's Office violated │
│ the Crime Victims' Rights Act by signing a nonprosecution │
│ agreement with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein without notifying his │
│ victims. │
│ Attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, representing Jane Doe │
│ #1 and Jane Doe #2, want a court hearing, where they will ask that │
│ the agreement be invalidated because, they say, the victims' rights │
│ were violated. If that happens, it could open up the 58-year-old │
│ Palm Beach billionaire to a slew of federal charges involving sex │
│ crimes with minors that were set aside by the agreement. │
│ The motion, filed Monday in federal court in West Palm Beach, │
│ accuses the U.S. Attorney's Office of deliberately misleading the │
│ victims by telling them the investigation was ongoing, while │
│ concealing they had already signed a deal with Epstein. │
│ According to the motion, the U.S. Attorney's Office sent "false │
│ notification" letters in January 2008 and May 2008 to the victims │
│ saying "(t)his case is currently under investigation" after the │
│ government had signed the agreement with Epstein in September │
│ 2007. │
│ "The only reason that the (U.S. Attorney's Office) concealed the │
│ existence of the non-prosecution agreement from the victims was │
│ not to comply with some legal restriction, but rather to avoid a │
│ firestorm of public controversy that would have erupted if the │
│ sweetheart plea deal with a politically connected billionaire had been │
│ revealed," the motion says. │
│ If Epstein were found guilty on federal charges, statutory penalties │
│ ranged from 10 years to life. │
│ Instead, the sealed pact was part and parcel of Epstein's │
│ acceptance of a state plea deal, where he received an 18-month │
│ sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting │
│ prostitution. He served 13 months segregated in a vacant wing of │
│ the county stockade and was let out on work release six days a │
│ week for up to 16 hours a day. │
│ Edwards and other attorneys fought in court for a year before │
│ successfully getting the agreement unsealed in September 2009. │

│ More │
│ Doe 1 and 2, who were 14 and 13, respectively, at the time of the │
│ incidents, received monetary settlements in civil cases. They are │
│ among more than two-dozen underage girls who filed lawsuits or │
│ settled claims against Epstein, alleging they were lured to his Palm │
│ Beach mansion to give him sexually charged massages and/or sex │
│ in exchange for money. │
│ The motion filed Monday says the agreement is illegal because the │
│ government did not protect the "Congressionally mandated rights of │
│ victims before it entered this agreement." │
│ Alicia Valle, special counsel for the U.S. Attorney's Office Southern │
│ District of Florida, said in an e-mail that the U.S. Attorney's Office │
│ will respond in court filings. │
│ "However, as we stated more than two years ago in July 2008 in our │
│ response to the plaintiffs' then-emergency petition for enforcement │
│ of the Crime Victim Rights Act, the CVRA was not violated because │
│ no federal charges were ever filed in the Southern District of │
│ Florida," Valle said. "Because the matter remains pending in court, it │
│ would be inappropriate at this time to provide additional comment on │
│ the merits of the current motion." │
│ The attorneys reference e-mails and letters from the federal office to │
│ Epstein's lawyers acknowledging the government's legal obligation │
│ to inform victims about the pact. The e-mails are redacted in the │
│ motion because they are under seal. The attorneys filed a separate │
│ motion Monday to unseal the correspondence. │
│ "The reasonable inference from the evidence is that the U.S. │
│ Attorney's Office wanted to keep the agreement a secret to avoid │
│ intense criticism that would surely ensued had the victims and the │
│ public learned that a billionaire sex offender with political │
│ connections had arranged to avoid federal prosecution for numerous │
│ felony sex offenses against minor girls," the motion says. "As part of │
│ this pattern of deception, the U.S. Attorney's Office discussed victim │
│ notification with the defendant sex offender and, after he raised │
│ objections, stopped making notifications." │
│ Epstein sought "a higher level of review" within the Department of │
│ Justice, the motion says. "A reasonable inference from the evidence │
│ is that Epstein used his significant political and social connections to │
│ lobby the Justice Department to avoid significant federal │
│ prosecution," the motion states. │

│ JUDGE RECEIVES EPSTEIN TAPE │
│ RULING PENDING │
│ MICHELE DARGAN, Daily News Staff Writer │
│ Published: May 5, 2010 │
│ NEW YORK -- A Manhattan federal judge Tuesday took into custody a tape-recorded conversation │
│ between veteran newspaper reporter George Rush and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ But U.S. District Judge Lawrence M. McKenna reserved ruling on whether the recording will be released to │
│ attorneys representing young women who were sexually abused by Epstein as minors. McKenna didn't │
│ listen to the recording during the hearing. Fort Lauderdale attorney Brad Edwards and Utah attorney and │
│ law professor Paul Cassell are fighting to obtain the 22-minute tape on behalf of Epstein victim Jane Doe. │
│ She has filed one of a dozen pending civil cases in federal court in West Palm Beach against Epstein. │
│ A status check is set for Thursday in those cases before U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra. │
│ Doe could have settled the lawsuit for $50,000 but is asking for $50 million in damages, Cassell said │
│ Tuesday. "Jane Doe was repeatedly sexually assaulted over a lengthy period of time by this wealthy and │
│ powerful man," Cassell said. │
│ Epstein, 57, is currently under house arrest in his Palm Beach home after serving 13 months of an 18- │
│ month state sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. Nearly two dozen │
│ young women have filed lawsuits against the billionaire money manager -- some already settled -- all │
│ alleging Epstein sexually abused them as minors at his El Brillo Way home. │
│ Cites reporter's protected privilege │
│ Rush, of the New York Daily News, was present in the courtroom, but did not have to testify Tuesday. │
│ Neither did Fort Lauderdale private investigator Michael Fisten, also in the courtroom. Working on behalf │
│ of Epstein victims, Fisten discovered the existence of the tape and had a conversation with Rush about its │
│ contents. │
│ Representing Rush and the newspaper, Washington attorney Laura Handman and New York Daily News │
│ attorney Anne Carroll argued the tape should not be released under any circumstances, citing reporter's │
│ protected privilege. Rush told Epstein the conversation was "off the record" and has never published any │
│ portion of that conversation. But even if portions had been printed, the unpublished portions would still be │
│ protected, Handman said. │
│ Handman cited cases where interviews were conducted in the presence of other people and privilege was │
│ not waived. │
│ In addition, Handman argued that Rush should not have to testify in court. │
│ The ability for reporter's privilege to be protected is crucial in culling sources and gathering information for │
│ news stories, Handman said. Reporting is all about give and take between the reporter and the source; │

│ "This is so critical to news gathering," Handman said. "Mr. Rush could find himself testifying in [many] │

│ There is nothing helpful to Doe's case on the tape and "Jane Doe is not referred to once in that tape," │

│ Cassell argued that the tape is "critical in showing Epstein's lack of remorse." │

│ LAWYER: EPSTEIN MADE ADMISSIONS ON TAPE │
│ MICHELE DARGAN, Daily News Staff Writer │
│ Published: April 29, 2010 │
│ A tape recorded interview between a reporter and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein contains │
│ "damning admissions by Epstein," which includes Epstein saying he had come "close to crossing a line" │
│ concerning sex with underage girls. │
│ Those and other revelations about the 22-minute interview by New York Daily News reporter George Rush │
│ with Epstein are contained in a 24-page court filing by attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell on behalf │
│ of Jane Doe. Edwards represents Doe and two other Epstein victims. Edwards and Cassell are fighting to │
│ obtain the tape to further their case of sexual abuse by Epstein when Doe was a minor. │
│ Epstein, 57, was released from jail in July after serving 13 months of an 18-month state sentence for │
│ soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. Nearly two dozen young women have filed │
│ lawsuits against Epstein -- some already settled -- all alleging Epstein sexually abused them as minors at │
│ his El Brillo Way home, where he is now serving house arrest. │
│ The New York Daily News is seeking to keep the tape confidential, citing reporter's protected privilege. │
│ In response, Cassell says the newspaper waived its protected privilege when Rush played the recording │
│ for three people and described its contents to two others, including Edwards. │
│ In addition, Cassell writes that privilege can't be applied in this situation because it doesn't involve an │
│ issue related to a confidential source. The person on the tape is Epstein. │
│ Even if there is "qualified privilege," Cassell maintains it is outweighed by Doe's inability to obtain the │
│ information anywhere else and her "compelling need to obtain Jeffrey Epstein's own words about his │
│ sexual abuse and lack of remorse." │
│ When reached by phone Wednesday, Anne Carroll, attorney for the New York Daily News, said she will │
│ answer Cassell in a court filing. Both the New York Daily News and Doe have asked a federal court judge │
│ in Manhattan to listen to the tape in chambers to help determine whether privilege applies. │
│ Epstein and others who helped him procure minor girls for massages and sex acts have taken the Fifth │
│ Amendment in their depositions, stymieing Doe and the other victims suing Epstein, the documents say. │
│ Michael Fisten, an investigator working for Doe, discovered the existence of the tape in fall 2009. An │
│ author who had listened to the tape told Fisten that Rush had a tape recording of Epstein "discussing the │
│ sexual abuse of minor girls." │
│ According to a sworn affidavit by Fisten, he called Rush, who confirmed he interviewed Epstein and made │
│ a tape. According to Fisten, Rush told him that he compiled negative information from Epstein about his │
│ exploits with underage girls and how he eluded the justice system. But Fisten said that Rush told him that │
│ his publisher, who knows Epstein, killed it after receiving a call from Epstein. │
│ Fisten said Rush told him, among other things, that the following information was contained on the tape: │
│ That Epstein said he went to jail in Florida for no reason and if the sexual abuse of minors had happened │
│ in New York, he would have only received a $200 fine. │
│ That L.M., one of Edwards' clients who sued Epstein for sexual abuse as a minor, came to him as a │
│ prostitute and a drug user (meaning she came to him for sex, rather than him pursuing her). │
│ That all the girls suing him are only trying to get a meal ticket. │
│ That the only thing he might have done wrong was to maybe cross the line a little too closely. │
│ In a sworn deposition, Edwards states that Rush disclosed much of the information contained on the tape │
│ to him in a conversation. │
│ Edwards said in his statement that the Rush interview is "unique and not otherwise obtainable from other │
│ witnesses because it can be used to prove perjury -- a federal crime. │
│ Edwards said Epstein testified in a deposition that he did not recognize the name George Rush from the │
│ New York Daily News "despite the fact that he gave a personal interview that we all now know to have │
│ been tape recorded." │

│ New Book Rips Jeffrey Epstein's $50 Billion Dollar Ponzi Scheme Text │
│ Hot Book Rips Jeffrey Epstein's $50 Billion Dollar Ponzi Crime Covered Up By President Obama │
│ By Steven Hoffenberg │
│ Publisher/CEO │
│ Lisa Twardeau died at the dirty hands of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's lies about the crimes he committed while │
│ working │
│ atTowersinvestors.com. │
│ Jeffrey Epstein looted Towers Investors of billions of dollars in ponzi crimes at the time Lisa became the wife │
│ of Steven Hoffenberg, │
│ who was Epstein's boss at Towers Investors. │
│ Epstein defrauded the Towers Investors with a cover-up after taking $2 billion from Towers and depositing it into │
│ the Epstein Hedge │
│ Fund Financial Trust Corp. │
│ Lisa Twardeau died when she was going to expose the fact that Jeffrey Epstein looted billions from Towers │
│ Investors by ponzi │
│ crimes. │
│ Now, from the grave, Lisa Twardeau slams arrogant ponzi crimes King Epstein in the tell-all book she wrote that │
│ reveals everything │
│ about Epstein and the Feds' cover-up with President Obama. │
│ The Feds are bad. They are covering up the Epstein ponzi crimes. The Lisa Twardeau book states that the FBI is │
│ violating the law │
│ with this cover-up. │
│ The book says President Obama told the Attorney General that Jeffrey Epstein was cooperating in an overseas │
│ banking crime, but │
│ the FBI can't arrest Epstein. These are all lies by the President of the United States. │
│ The book says that President Obama lied to cover up his relationship with Larry Summers who is on Jeffrey │
│ Epstein's payroll. │
│ The book could give reasons for the president to be impeached for obstruction of justice whereby the U.S. │
│ Attorney General will │
│ learn everything that is in the Twardeau book. │
│ Readers, stay with this hot story that reveals that a cover-up in America is taking place. │
│ The Richard Nixon story all over again is in the Lisa Twardeau book coming soon........ │

│ Thank you for your response. My initial questions are fairly general I believe. │
│ Was Former Pres Clinton ever a guest on the island? │
│ Was George Mitchell a guest? │
│ Would any of the guests get massages from the girls brought by Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell? │
│ Do you remember │
│ What was her interaction with Ms. Maxwell? │
│ How many massages would Mr. Epstein get per day? I understand that the massages happened in a location where, │
│ based on the article I read, Ghislaine instructed you to never go while in use. But I am curious knowing - were │
│ the │
│ massages done by the various young girls brought to the island? Did they appear to be massage therapists? I think │
│ I │
│ know that answer based again on the previous article I read. │
│ Were you aware of Ghislaine flying a helicopter? Flying girls to the island? Flying guests to the island? │
│ What did you understand Ghislaine's role to be? How did she describe herself or act while there? If she was the │
│ "queen bee" girlfriend, then what was her explanation of the presence of the other younger girls? And what │
│ interaction did Ghislaine have with those girls? It is our understanding that one of her primarily "jobs" was to │
│ find │
│ the girls to bring to Mr. Epstein but we do not yet have a firm understand where she found them or what │
│ interaction │
│ she personally had with each of them while on the island. I was hoping you could provide some clarity based on │
│ things you heard or observations you made. │
│ Again, thank you for any clarification you can provide. I am interested in the facts, including any inaccuracies │
│ that │
│ have been reported in the past which may have given us a misunderstanding of anything. │

│ Dear Miles and Kathy Alexander, │
│ I, along with several other attorneys, represent_____________________ She needs your help and we are hoping │
│ for your assistance. She doesn't need much. In fact, all she needs are some good, honest people who are │
│ willing to just tell the truth. That seems like a simple request that any compassionate person would │
│ accommodate; however, for some reason many people have instead decided to stay out of it and allow │
│ to continue to suffer. A small number of good people have stood up for what is right and told the │
│ truth. We do not currently know where you stand but we know that you have helpful information and │
│ are hopeful that you will cooperate in sharing that information with us. │
│ I have investigated various related aspects of this unfortunate story for 8 years now. is one of │
│ numerous clients I have represented in related matters. And only wants one thing - for the truth │
│ to be known and for her story to protect others. She was a teenager when she was recruited to travel │
│ with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. After 2 years she escaped that life and lived in │
│ hoping to forget what she had been through. After Mr. Epstein was arrested for doing similar things to │
│ other girls that he had done to her, lecided to speak out about what really had transpired while │
│ traveling with Maxwell and Epstein, including events that occurred on Little St. James. │
│ She remembers you and your wife fondly. We read the interview you gave a few years back. There can │
│ be no doubt that we absolutely appreciate the probably unwanted media attention that your previous │
│ interview drew. We are not at all looking for a second round of that. We are not the media. We do not │
│ need any public interview. We are not concerned with anything other than the facts, from your own │
│ observations or what you heard while working on the island. We just want to speak with you. │
│ came back to the United States to help others similarly victimized. Specifically, she started a non- │
│ profit charity to help sex abuse victims. She very bravely told her story with the goal of starting a new life │
│ helping others. Unfortunately, Ms. Maxwell told the world that was lying, which has thus far had │
│ the impact of destroying 's charity. We are in litigation with Ms. Maxwell where we have to prove │
│ something that should be very simple - that is in fact telling the truth in her story of being │
│ recruited by Ms. Maxwell to travel and "work" for Mr. Epstein. We know she is being truthful. We also │
│ know that there are numerous witnesses who also know she is. But many of the witnesses still work for │
│ Mr. Epstein or cannot be located. │
│ - as well as any others similarly situated - deserves the truth. And that is all we are trying to │
│ capture for her. We promise not to let anyone in the media know we are talking to you. We are not │
│ looking to drag you into anything. We are not looking for anything at all more than the truth, and Virginia │
│ has told us that of all the people who worked for Mr. Epstein you were the most likely to help. │
│ I hope this email finds you well. I apologize for emailing you at an address that appears to be a work │
│ address. It is all I had. If there is a time when you would be so kind as to talk with me, I would be most │
│ grateful. You can email me. Call me. Set up a time for me to call you. Whatever is most convenient for │
│ you. Thank you for anything you are able to do. │

│ Search for next FBI director moves ahead quickly │
│ Attorney General Jeff Sessions interviewed eight candidates to replace fired FBI Director James │
│ Comey on Saturday, with President Donald Trump indicating that the nomination could be announced │
│ by Friday when he leaves for his first foreign trip. Potential replacements include FBI special agent │
│ Adam Lee, Judge Michael Garcia and former Justice Department employee Alice Fisher, who would │

│ THE BUSINESS & POLITICS POLL │
│ What's your take on the Comey firing? │
│ President Donald Trump's sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey has stirred a flurry of calls for │
│ an independent investigation of the event and the FBI's probe into possible collusion between Trump's │
│ campaign and Russian officials. Critics say the president's action was a deliberate attempt to derail in │
│ FBI investigation, while defenders say the president acted properly and Comey deserved to be │
│ fired.This week's question: What's your take on the Comey firing? Cast your vote below. We'll │
│ post the results Friday. │
│ The president acted properly and within his powers │
│ The firing was legal but badly handled │
│ The firing could be seen as obstructing justice │
│ The firing was definitely an obstruction of justice │
│ None of the above/other │
│ AGENDA ITEMS │
│ Senators: Trump should relinquish Comey tapes │
│ Senators including Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Sunday that if President │
│ Donald Trump recorded conversations with former FBI Director James Comey, │
│ he should provide those recordings to lawmakers. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D- │
│ N.Y., said Democrats might seek to delay a vote on a new FBI director until a │
│ special prosecutor is appointed to investigate potential connections between │
│ Trump and Russia. │

│ At least six of President Trump's advisers, including Steve Bannon and Reince │
│ Priebus, used private email accounts for government business │
│ Monday, September 25, 2017 8:08 PM EDT │
│ At least six of President Trump's closest advisers occasionally used private email addresses │
│ to discuss White House matters, current and former officials said on Monday. │
│ Officials are supposed to use government emails for their official duties so their │
│ conversations are available to the public and those conducting oversight. But it is not illegal │
│ for White House officials to use private email accounts as long as they forward work-related │
│ messages to their work accounts so they can be preserved. │
│ During the 2016 presidential race, Mr. Trump repeatedly harped on Hillary Clinton's use of a │
│ private account as secretary of state, making it a centerpiece of his campaign and using it to │
│ paint her as untrustworthy. "We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval │
│ Office," Mr. Trump said last year. His campaign rallies often boiled over with chants of │
│ "Lock her up!" │

│ Ending years of speculation about how much Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein │
│ paid young women who claimed he used them as sex toys, court documents filed last │
│ week show he shelled out $5.5 million to settle lawsuits with three of more than two │
│ dozen teens who sued him. │
│ Responding to requests from Epstein's attorneys in a complex lawsuit that was │
│ spawned by the sex scandal, attorney Bradley Edwards said the politically- │
│ connected 64-year-old convicted sex offender paid more than $1 million to each of │
│ the three women Edwards represented. │
│ Identified in court papers only by their initials or pseudonyms because of the nature │
│ of the allegations and their youthful ages, L.M. was paid $1 million, E.W. $2 million │
│ and Jane Doe $2.5 million, Edwards said of the settlements he negotiated with │
│ Epstein to end the lawsuits. │
│ Jack Goldberger, one of Epstein's criminal defense attorneys, on Tuesday declined │
│ comment on the revelations, citing confidentiality agreements that were part of the │
│ settlements. For the same reason, he declined to say whether Epstein paid similar │
│ amounts to settle roughly two dozen lawsuits filed by other young women against │
│ Epstein, claiming he paid them for sex when some were as young as 14 years old. │
│ Attorney Jack Scarola, who is representing Edwards, said his client was compelled │
│ to divulge the confidential settlements to answer questions posed by Epstein's │
│ attorneys. "Brilliant move on their part," he said. │
│ Even if Epstein's attorneys hadn't opened the door, Scarola said the information │
│ would have likely come out. He says the information will help him undermine │
│ Epstein's claims that Edwards "ginned up" the allegations to help his former law │
│ partner, imprisoned and disbarred Fort Lauderdale lawyer Scott Rothstein, │
│ perpetuate a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme. │
│ The revelations of the settlements came as part of an ongoing lawsuit that started as │
│ a dispute between Epstein and Rothstein, both billionaires. │
│ A year after Epstein in 2008 pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and │
│ procuring a minor for prostitution, he sued Rothstein and Edwards, claiming they │
│ trumped up the allegations of sexual molestation to perpetuate the Ponzi scheme. │
│ Rothstein was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2010 after admitting he had built │
│ his wildly successful law firm by forging the names of federal judges and others to │
│ persuade investors he had negotiated settlements in lawsuits against high-profile │
│ people. Investors were told they could get a cut of the cash. │
│ One of the high-profile people Rothstein used to lure investors was Epstein, │
│ according to a lawsuit West Palm Beach attorney Robert Critton filed on Epstein's │
│ behalf. According to the lawsuit, Rothstein told investors Epstein, a money │
│ manager, had agreed to settle the lawsuits with the teens for 8200 million — a claim │
│ Critton described as "a complete fabrication." │
│ After Epstein dropped the lawsuit in 2012, Edwards turned the tables on him. │
│ Edwards accused Epstein of filing the lawsuit maliciously to punish him for │
│ representing the young women. Although Edwards was a partner in Rothstein's now │
│ defunct firm, Scarola claims Epstein had no evidence Edwards was involved in the │
│ Ponzi scheme. Federal prosecutors successfully charged other attorneys and │
│ members of the firm, but Edwards was never implicated, Scarola said in the │
│ malicious prosecution lawsuit. │
│ The revelations about the money Epstein paid to three of the young woman came │
│ last week in documents filed for a hearing Tuesday in preparation for a December │
│ trial on the lawsuit. │
│ Attorney Tonja Haddad Coleman, who represents Epstein, on Tuesday sought a │
│ delay of the trial, in part, because she claimed she has been unable to talk to her │
│ client since his estate on his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands was devastated │
│ last month by Hurricane Irma. "I've had no ability to communicate with Mr. │
│ Epstein," she said. │
│ Pointing out Epstein's enormous wealth and his private jet, Palm Beach County │
│ Circuit Judge Donald Hafele rejected her request. While saying he didn't want to │
│ appear insensitive to those victimized by the storm that hammered the Caribbean │
│ and roared through South Florida, he said Coleman offered no proof, such as an │
│ affidavit from Epstein, to shore up her claims. │
│ Still, Hafele gave Coleman extra time to respond to various motions that he will have │
│ to decide before the case goes to trial. │
│ Despite Scarola's insistence that Edwards had nothing to do with Rothstein's Ponzi │
│ scheme, Coleman said the evidence indicates otherwise. Why else would he try to │
│ depose Epstein's well-known friends, such as now President Donald Trump, former │
│ President Bill Clinton and illusionist David Copperfield, she asked. He used the │
│ celebrities as a draw, she said. │
│ "The Epstein cases were used to fleece money and defraud investors," she said. │
│ Edward's malicious prosecution case has been difficult for both sides because both │
│ Epstein and Edwards have refused to answer questions. As he did in the civil │
│ lawsuits, Epstein has invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination │
│ when questioned by Scarola. Edwards has claimed that much of the information │
│ Epstein is seeking is protected by attorney-client privilege. │
│ The malicious prosecution lawsuit is one of two hotly-contested lawsuits that │
│ continue to pit Edwards against Epstein. Edwards also is suing the U.S. attorney's │
│ office, claiming it violated the federal Crime Victims Rights Act when it negotiated a │
│ non-prosecution agreement with Epstein. │
│ Only after federal prosecutors agreed to drop their investigation of Epstein, did he │
│ agree to plead guilty to two prostitution charges in Palm Beach County Circuit │
│ Court. In federal court records, prosecutors claim one of the key reasons they agreed │
│ to drop their case was Epstein's agreement to settle lawsuits filed against him by │
│ dozens of his underage victims. │

│ Subject: Epstein prosecutor was rebuked for prior child sex case I Miami Herald │
│ Attachments: Sp_Marie_Villafana2.jpg; WilliamZloch.jpeg; acosta.jpg │
│ Importance: High │
│ │
│ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article226765309.html │
│ Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor was │
│ previously rebuked for handling of a │
│ child sex case │
│ Julie K. Brown │
│ Nine months before cutting a covert plea deal with sex trafficking suspect Jeffrey │
│ Epstei , Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta was notified that the lead │
│ prosecutor in Epstein's case had concealed victim information in another underage │
│ sex crimes case, the Miami Herald has learned. │
│ The prosecutor, A. Marie Villafaria, was harshly rebuked by a federal judge in │
│ January 2007 for what he called her "intentional and/or serious lapse in judgment" │
│ when she failed to explicitly inform him that the defendant, a Texas man who │
│ traveled to Florida to have sex with a 14-year-old girl, had a prior history of │
│ predatory behavior with minors, court records show. │
│ Acosta, her boss at the time, not only knew about Villafaria's breach — records show │
│ that he subsequently defended it. Acosta assigned another prosecutor in his office to │
│ write a treatise for the judge in an unsuccessful attempt to persuade him to soften │
│ the stinging language in his order. │
│ Senior U.S. District Court Judge William J. Zloch copied Acosta on his order, │
│ noting, "The court is at a total loss as to why the Office of the United States Attorney │
│ for the Southern District of Florida, as well as the Assistant United States Attorney │
│ assigned to the above-styled cause, found it appropriate to intentionally withhold ... │
│ information from the court." │
│ A. Marie Villafaria was the lead federal prosecutor in the Jeffrey Epstein sex case. The U.S. attorney's office's │
│ handling of │
│ the prosecution, which led to a plea to minor charges in state court, has been harshly criticized. │
│ Later that year, Acosta and Villafaria put together a plea bargain for Epstein, a │
│ multimillionaire money manager who sexually abused nearly three dozen teenage │
│ girls at his mansion in Palm Beach. The deal, a federal judge ruled last month, was │
│ intentionally kept from his victims in violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. │
│ While the two cases are unrelated, it shows that both Acosta and Villafaria had been │
│ warned about the importance of victim disclosure in sex crimes cases before the │
│ Epstein agreement. They nevertheless forged ahead with a pact with Epstein that │
│ violated the law. │
│ U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth A. Marra wrote: "When the Government gives │
│ information to victims, it cannot be misleading. While the Government spent untold │
│ hours negotiating the terms and implications of the [agreement] with Epstein's │
│ attorneys, scant information was shared with victims." │
│ This comes as Acosta, who is now the U.S. secretary of labor, is facing mounting │
│ scrutiny for his oversight of the Epstein case. On Monday, White House press │
│ secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to say whether President Trump has full │
│ confidence in Acosta, noting that Acosta's involvement in the Epstein case is │
│ GG │
│ currently under review." │
│ The Justice Department launched a probe in January into whether Acosta, Villafaria │
│ and other prosecutors committed professional misconduct. │
│ Francey Hakes, who worked in the Justice Department's Crimes Against Children │
│ unit, said Zloch's comments were so brutal that it should have deterred Acosta and │
│ Villafaria from keeping the deal secret. │
│ "It is highly unusual for a court to allege an assistant U.S. attorney has intentionally │
│ withheld information. That allegation is like dropping a bomb in the legal │
│ community," she said. │
│ The story behind a Palm Beach sex offender's remarkable deal │
│ Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing │
│ dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never │
│ had a voice, until now. │
│ "It seems to show that they are not taking these cases very seriously, they are not │
│ advocating for strong punishment for sexual predators, and not advocating for │
│ victims in a meaningful way." │
│ Villafaria, a well-regarded 18-year veteran federal prosecutor, would not comment │
│ for this story. But her lawyer, Jonathan Biran, said she has worked tirelessly on │
│ behalf of crime victims. She received the 2011 National Crime Victims' Rights │
│ Service Award as well as the Attorney General's Project Safe Childhood Award. │
│ He also pointed out that the parents of the victim in the Texas man's case wrote a │
│ letter thanking Villafaria at the conclusion of the case. │
│ "AUSA Villafaria has spent her 18-year career advocating tirelessly on behalf of │
│ victims of some of the most serious crimes in Florida, and has received numerous │
│ awards for her successful prosecution of major cases," Biran said, adding that │
│ Villafaria has "made South Florida a safer place for children and adults alike." │
│ Enticing a minor │
│ By all accounts, Adam McDaniel was an awkward and shy Texas teenager who spent │
│ countless hours on his computer, socializing with girls on the internet. │
│ In 2005, McDaniel, then 19, traveled from Texas to Fort Lauderdale, where he │
│ hopped into a taxi and headed to Boca Raton to meet up with a 14-year-old girl he │
│ had been talking to online for about a year. He picked up the ninth grader at a high │
│ school basketball game, and drove her to a Marriott, hotel where they spent the │
│ night, court records show. │
│ When she failed to come home that evening, her parents called Boca Raton police. │
│ Officers tracked the pair down at the hotel the next day, where they found them in │
│ bed, clad in little more than their underwear, according to court records. │
│ McDaniel was arrested on federal sex charges, and pleaded guilty on Oct. 6, 2006, to │
│ enticing a minor into sexual conduct by means of interstate commerce, which │
│ carried a sentence of from five years up to 30 years in federal prison. │
│ U.S. District Judge William Zloch │
│ At sentencing, McDaniel's public defender, Patrick Hunt, argued for a reduced │
│ sentence, blaming his client's immaturity for the crime. McDaniel had been a good │
│ student at Texas Tech and had a family that supported him, Hunt told Zloch. │
│ Family and acquaintances, including a former Fort Worth police lieutenant, │
│ submitted letters to the court vouching for McDaniel's character. │
│ There were other issues, however, presented to the judge. While McDaniel was │
│ being held in federal lockup awaiting sentencing, he had corresponded with his │
│ victim, despite being ordered not to contact her, the court record shows. │
│ Still, Hunt argued that a sentence of five years was overly harsh. │
│ Villafaria disagreed, but conceded that McDaniel would benefit from psychological │
│ treatment. She advocated for a sentence of five to sex years, which was at the low │
│ end of the guideline. │
│ It was then that the judge heard from the victim's mother. │
│ In a statement, the mother decried the emotional and mental trauma her daughter │
│ suffered and the long road to recovery she had ahead of her. The mother mentioned │
│ she was further upset that McDaniel continued contact with her daughter after his │
│ arrest and she said she believed that McDaniel was still trying to manipulate her │
│ daughter by blaming her for his arrest. │
│ The mother pointed out that prior to their sexual encounter, McDaniel had directed │
│ her daughter to watch sexually explicit movies and had described for her sex │
│ activities he had had with another underage girl. │
│ At that point, the judge interrupted. │
│ "...There has been some reference to another incident with a minor girl. What do │
│ you know about that, if anything?" Zloch asked Villafaria. │
│ Former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta never told sexual-abuse victims of a lenient plea │
│ deal for Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Getty Images │
│ Only then did Zloch learn that McDaniel had preyed on other girls over the internet, │
│ including a 16-year-old California girl whom he brought to Texas and impregnated. │
│ He was also having another relationship with a 15-year-old girl at the time of his │
│ arrest, Villafaria admitted in court. │
│ The judge promptly sentenced McDaniel to 10 years — twice what Villafaria │
│ recommended. │
│ Three months later, in January 2007, after reviewing the entire case, Zloch issued │
│ an order excoriating Villafaria for failing to tell him about McDaniel's prior history. │
│ "The serial nature of defendant's seduction of minor girls was revealed for the first │
│ time to the court upon the Government's response to the Court's inquiry," Zloch │
│ wrote, explaining that the defendant's past was evidence of predatory behavior that │
│ warranted a harsher sentence because he may pose a danger to the community. │
│ Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Lourie was assigned to try to correct the record and │
│ persuade the judge to strike a portion of his comments. They argued that since │
│ McDaniel had never before been charged with a crime, the history was not relevant │
│ at sentencing. The defendant's prior relationship with a 16-year-old was not illegal │
│ in Texas or in California, they said, and the girl classified her relationship as a │
│ friendship. │
│ All the relevant information was provided to the probation department and at │
│ McDaniel's detention hearing, they added, making the point that it was in the record │
│ and therefore, not intentionally withheld by the government. │
│ While Zloch conceded that the information was part of the probation and bond │
│ hearing record, he said it was nevertheless the U.S. Attorney's Office's duty to │
│ present the defendant's prior history with minors at sentencing. He refused to strike │
│ the most critical portions of his order. │
│ "Lack of candor to the court is a serious charge, and the judge has quite reasonably │
│ expressed dismay that the assistant U.S. attorney apparently intended that he never │
│ be given a full picture of the defendant's conduct," Hakes said. │
│ But nine months later, in September 2007, Villafaria was in the throes of thorny │
│ negotiations with Epstein's lawyers. While an FBI investigation was ongoing, │
│ Villafaria discussed ways to quietly resolve the case, emails show. │
│ A Miami Herald investigation, -Perversion of Justice," published in November, │
│ revealed how federal prosecutors, including Acosta and Villafaria, tried to keep the │
│ full scope of Epstein's crimes out of the public eye. At one point, they discussed │
│ charging Epstein in Miami, instead of Palm Beach where the crimes happened, │
│ noting there would be less media coverage. │
│ Emails also show that prosecutors repeatedly abided by Epstein's lawyers' demands │
│ that his victims not be told that an agreement had been reached until after he was │
│ sentenced. That meant that the girls could not appear at the hearing to derail the │
│ deal. Prosecutors had drafted a 53-page federal indictment on sex trafficking │
│ charges, but Acosta instead allowed Epstein to plead guilty to two prostitution │
│ charges in state court. In exchange, Epstein and his co-conspirators were given │
│ federal immunity. │
│ Villafaria wrote Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, to discuss the wording of the │
│ sentencing agreement for the judge: │
│ "I will include all our standard language regarding resolving all criminal liability and │
│ I will mention co-conspirators, but I would prefer not to highlight for the judge all of │
│ the other crimes and all the other persons we could charge," Villafaria wrote. │
│ At Epstein's sentencing, assistant Palm Beach prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek was │
│ questioned by the judge about whether all of Epstein's victims were told about the │
│ deal, as required by law. │
│ "Are there more than one victim?" Circuit Court Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo asked │
│ Belohlavek at the June 30, 2008 sentencing. │
│ "There's several," Belohlavek replied. │
│ "Are all the victims in both these cases in agreement with the terms of the plea?" the │
│ judge asked. │
│ "Yes," Belohlavek said. │
│ Coincidentally, the lawyer representing one of the victims was in the courtroom that │
│ day. He told the Herald that neither he, nor his client, was told about the agreement. │
│ Acosta has not responded to the Herald's repeated requests for comment. A │
│ spokesman at the Labor Department told the Washington Post last month: "The │
│ office's decisions were approved by departmental leadership and followed │
│ departmental procedures." │
│ In the past, Acosta has said that he believed the deal was the best chance │
│ prosecutors had of ensuring that Epstein spent some time behind bars and was │
│ required to register as a sex offender. Epstein served 13 months in the Palm Beach │
│ County jail — but he was allowed to leave for up to 12 hours a day as part of a work │
│ release program not normally offered to convicted sex offenders. │
│ Epstein's victims, now in their late 20S and 30s, are fighting to have his deal │
│ overturned and Epstein sent to prison. │
│ Bradley Edwards, who represents several of Epstein's victims, defended Villafaria, │
│ saying he believed that she was directed to settle the case and not inform Epstein's │
│ victims about the deal. │
│ "In my conversations with her, I came to believe that she was in a difficult position. │
│ She never came out and said this, but I suspected that someone above her directed │
│ her to do what she did," Edwards said. │

│ Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor was │
│ previously rebuked for handling of a │
│ child sex case │
│ Julie K. Brown │
│ Nine months before cutting a covert plea deal with sex trafficking suspect Jeffrey │
│ Epstei , Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta was notified that the lead │
│ prosecutor in Epstein's case had concealed victim information in another underage │
│ sex crimes case, the Miami Herald has learned. │
│ The prosecutor, A. Marie Villafaria, was harshly rebuked by a federal judge in │
│ January 2007 for what he called her "intentional and/or serious lapse in judgment" │
│ when she failed to explicitly inform him that the defendant, a Texas man who │
│ traveled to Florida to have sex with a 14-year-old girl, had a prior history of │
│ predatory behavior with minors, court records show. │
│ Acosta, her boss at the time, not only knew about Villafaria's breach — records show │
│ that he subsequently defended it. Acosta assigned another prosecutor in his office to │
│ write a treatise for the judge in an unsuccessful attempt to persuade him to soften │
│ the stinging language in his order. │
│ Senior U.S. District Court Judge William J. Zloch copied Acosta on his order, │
│ noting, "The court is at a total loss as to why the Office of the United States Attorney │
│ for the Southern District of Florida, as well as the Assistant United States Attorney │
│ assigned to the above-styled cause, found it appropriate to intentionally withhold ... │
│ information from the court." │
│ <Sp_Marie_Villafana2.jpg> │
│ A. Marie Villafaria was the lead federal prosecutor in the Jeffrey Epstein sex case. The U.S. attorney's office's │
│ handling of │
│ the prosecution, which led to a plea to minor charges in state court, has been harshly criticized. │
│ Later that year, Acosta and Villafaria put together a plea bargain for Epstein, a │
│ multimillionaire money manager who sexually abused nearly three dozen teenage │
│ girls at his mansion in Palm Beach. The deal, a federal judge ruled last month, was │
│ intentionally kept from his victims in violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. │
│ While the two cases are unrelated, it shows that both Acosta and Villafaria had been │
│ warned about the importance of victim disclosure in sex crimes cases before the │
│ Epstein agreement. They nevertheless forged ahead with a pact with Epstein that │
│ violated the law. │
│ U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth A. Marra wrote: "When the Government gives │
│ information to victims, it cannot be misleading. While the Government spent untold │
│ hours negotiating the terms and implications of the [agreement] with Epstein's │
│ attorneys, scant information was shared with victims." │
│ This comes as Acosta, who is now the U.S. secretary of labor, is facing mounting │
│ scrutiny for his oversight of the Epstein case. On Monday, White House press │
│ secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to say whether President Trump has full │
│ confidence in Acosta, noting that Acosta's involvement in the Epstein case is │
│ GG │
│ currently under review." │
│ The Justice Department launched a probe in January into whether Acosta, Villafaria │
│ and other prosecutors committed professional misconduct. │
│ Francey Hakes, who worked in the Justice Department's Crimes Against Children │
│ unit, said Zloch's comments were so brutal that it should have deterred Acosta and │
│ Villafaria from keeping the deal secret. │
│ "It is highly unusual for a court to allege an assistant U.S. attorney has intentionally │
│ withheld information. That allegation is like dropping a bomb in the legal │
│ community," she said. │
│ The story behind a Palm Beach sex offender's remarkable deal │
│ Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing │
│ dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never │
│ had a voice, until now. │
│ "It seems to show that they are not taking these cases very seriously, they are not │
│ advocating for strong punishment for sexual predators, and not advocating for │
│ victims in a meaningful way." │
│ Villafaria, a well-regarded 18-year veteran federal prosecutor, would not comment │
│ for this story. But her lawyer, Jonathan Biran, said she has worked tirelessly on │
│ behalf of crime victims. She received the 2011 National Crime Victims' Rights │
│ Service Award as well as the Attorney General's Project Safe Childhood Award. │
│ He also pointed out that the parents of the victim in the Texas man's case wrote a │
│ letter thanking Villafaria at the conclusion of the case. │
│ "AUSA Villafaria has spent her 18-year career advocating tirelessly on behalf of │
│ victims of some of the most serious crimes in Florida, and has received numerous │
│ awards for her successful prosecution of major cases," Biran said, adding that │
│ Villafaria has "made South Florida a safer place for children and adults alike." │
│ Enticing a minor │
│ By all accounts, Adam McDaniel was an awkward and shy Texas teenager who spent │
│ countless hours on his computer, socializing with girls on the internet. │
│ In 2005, McDaniel, then 19, traveled from Texas to Fort Lauderdale, where he │
│ hopped into a taxi and headed to Boca Raton to meet up with a 14-year-old girl he │
│ had been talking to online for about a year. He picked up the ninth grader at a high │
│ school basketball game, and drove her to a Marriott, hotel where they spent the │
│ night, court records show. │
│ When she failed to come home that evening, her parents called Boca Raton police. │
│ Officers tracked the pair down at the hotel the next day, where they found them in │
│ bed, clad in little more than their underwear, according to court records. │
│ McDaniel was arrested on federal sex charges, and pleaded guilty on Oct. 6, 2006, to │
│ enticing a minor into sexual conduct by means of interstate commerce, which │
│ carried a sentence of from five years up to 30 years in federal prison. │
│ U.S. District Judge William Zloch │
│ At sentencing, McDaniel's public defender, Patrick Hunt, argued for a reduced │
│ sentence, blaming his client's immaturity for the crime. McDaniel had been a good │
│ student at Texas Tech and had a family that supported him, Hunt told Zloch. │
│ Family and acquaintances, including a former Fort Worth police lieutenant, │
│ submitted letters to the court vouching for McDaniel's character. │
│ There were other issues, however, presented to the judge. While McDaniel was │
│ being held in federal lockup awaiting sentencing, he had corresponded with his │
│ victim, despite being ordered not to contact her, the court record shows. │
│ Still, Hunt argued that a sentence of five years was overly harsh. │
│ Villafaria disagreed, but conceded that McDaniel would benefit from psychological │
│ treatment. She advocated for a sentence of five to sex years, which was at the low │
│ end of the guideline. │
│ It was then that the judge heard from the victim's mother. │
│ In a statement, the mother decried the emotional and mental trauma her daughter │
│ suffered and the long road to recovery she had ahead of her. The mother mentioned │
│ she was further upset that McDaniel continued contact with her daughter after his │
│ arrest and she said she believed that McDaniel was still trying to manipulate her │
│ daughter by blaming her for his arrest. │
│ The mother pointed out that prior to their sexual encounter, McDaniel had directed │
│ her daughter to watch sexually explicit movies and had described for her sex │
│ activities he had had with another underage girl. │
│ At that point, the judge interrupted. │
│ "...There has been some reference to another incident with a minor girl. What do │
│ you know about that, if anything?" Zloch asked Villafaria. │
│ <acosta.jpg> │
│ Former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta never told sexual-abuse victims of a lenient plea │
│ deal for Jeffrey Epstein. │
│ Getty Images │
│ Only then did Zloch learn that McDaniel had preyed on other girls over the internet, │
│ including a 16-year-old California girl whom he brought to Texas and impregnated. │
│ He was also having another relationship with a 15-year-old girl at the time of his │
│ arrest, Villafaria admitted in court. │
│ The judge promptly sentenced McDaniel to 10 years — twice what Villafaria │
│ recommended. │
│ Three months later, in January 2007, after reviewing the entire case, Zloch issued │
│ an order excoriating Villafaria for failing to tell him about McDaniel's prior history. │
│ "The serial nature of defendant's seduction of minor girls was revealed for the first │
│ time to the court upon the Government's response to the Court's inquiry," Zloch │
│ wrote, explaining that the defendant's past was evidence of predatory behavior that │
│ warranted a harsher sentence because he may pose a danger to the community. │
│ Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Lourie was assigned to try to correct the record and │
│ persuade the judge to strike a portion of his comments. They argued that since │
│ McDaniel had never before been charged with a crime, the history was not relevant │
│ at sentencing. The defendant's prior relationship with a 16-year-old was not illegal │
│ in Texas or in California, they said, and the girl classified her relationship as a │
│ friendship. │
│ All the relevant information was provided to the probation department and at │
│ McDaniel's detention hearing, they added, making the point that it was in the record │
│ and therefore, not intentionally withheld by the government. │
│ While Zloch conceded that the information was part of the probation and bond │
│ hearing record, he said it was nevertheless the U.S. Attorney's Office's duty to │
│ present the defendant's prior history with minors at sentencing. He refused to strike │
│ the most critical portions of his order. │
│ "Lack of candor to the court is a serious charge, and the judge has quite reasonably │
│ expressed dismay that the assistant U.S. attorney apparently intended that he never │
│ be given a full picture of the defendant's conduct," Hakes said. │
│ But nine months later, in September 2007, Villafaria was in the throes of thorny │
│ negotiations with Epstein's lawyers. While an FBI investigation was ongoing, │
│ Villafaria discussed ways to quietly resolve the case, emails show. │
│ A Miami Herald investigation, "Perversion of Justice," published in November, │
│ revealed how federal prosecutors, including Acosta and Villafaria, tried to keep the │
│ full scope of Epstein's crimes out of the public eye. At one point, they discussed │
│ charging Epstein in Miami, instead of Palm Beach where the crimes happened, │
│ noting there would be less media coverage. │
│ Emails also show that prosecutors repeatedly abided by Epstein's lawyers' demands │

│ "I will include all our standard language regarding resolving all criminal liability and │
│ I will mention co-conspirators, but I would prefer not to highlight for the judge all of │

│ questioned by the judge about whether all of Epstein's victims were told about the │

│ Top aide of Jeffrey Epstein │
│ prosecutor Acosta: We acted with │
│ integrity │
│ February 15, 2019 12:17 PM │
│ Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing │
│ dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never │
│ had a voice, until now. By Emily Michot I Julie K. Brown │
│ A former top prosecutor involved in the Jeffrey Epstein sex case is defending his old │
│ boss, Alexander Acosta, whose decision to craft a secret plea deal with the wealthy │
│ New York hedge fund manager has come under federal scrutiny. │
│ In his first public comments on the 10-year-old case, Jeffrey H. Sloman — who at │
│ the time was second in command under Acosta at the U.S. Attorney's Office in │
│ Miami — said prosecutors resolved the case based on the facts and evidence, and │
│ what he called "legal impediments," including the belief that many of Epstein's │
│ teenage victims were too "terrified" to cooperate in the case. │
│ "Given the obstacles we faced in fashioning a robust federal prosecution, we decided │
│ to negotiate a resolution," said Sloman, now in private practice. "We did not reach │
│ this decision lightly and it came only after significant and often rancorous internal │
│ debate." │
│ Jeffrey Sloman, who was second-in-command to then-U.S. Attorney Alexander │
│ Acosta when the latter was deciding whether to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein, says the │
│ office handled the case properly. Aixa Montero Holt │
│ In a lengthy opinion piece submitted to the Miami Herald Editorial Board, Sloman │
│ alleges that the attacks on Acosta's role in the controversial case are politically │
│ driven by critics who failed to raise significant issues when Acosta was nominated │
│ and confirmed as the U.S. secretary of labor in 2017. │
│ Sloman's comments come two weeks after the Justice Department announced it had │
│ opened an investigation over whether there was prosecutorial misconduct in the │
│ case involving Epstein, who ran a sex pyramid scheme from his Palm Beach estate │
│ that targeted scores of underage girls from 2001 to 2006. │
│ About 30 members of Congress demanded the probe following a Miami Herald │
│ series of stories, "Perversion of Justice," that detailed how federal prosecutors, led │
│ by Acosta, stitched together an unusual immunity deal that allowed Epstein to │
│ escape what could have been a life sentence in federal prison. │
│ U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta has been criticized for the plea deal he │
│ worked out with Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta was U.S. attorney for Southern Florida at │
│ the time. Alan Diaz │
│ Instead, Epstein — whose friends included President Donald Trump, former │
│ President Bill Clinton and other politically connected people — was allowed to │
│ quietly plead guilty to prostitution charges in state court. He served 13 months in │
│ the county jail, where he was allowed liberal work release privileges rarely given to │
│ sex offenders in Florida and barred by the Palm Beach Sheriffs Department's own │
│ rules. │
│ He was released in 2009, but his victims — who were 13 to 16 years old at the time — │
│ are still fighting more than a decade later to have his non-prosecution agreement │
│ overturned. │
│ In his op-ed, Sloman called Acosta "an outstanding public servant ... at risk of │
│ becoming collateral damage in Washington's latest polarized conflagration," adding, │
│ "I won't let it happen without first being heard." │
│ Jeffrey Epstein apologizes, but not to his victims │
│ Jeffrey Epstein, a multimillionaire who molested dozens of underage girls, and is │
│ suspected of trafficking countless other girls around the world, issued a public │
│ apology Tuesday. It was not to the victims of his abuse, but to one of their lawyers. │
│ "As additional details about Epstein's crimes have emerged, it is clear to me that we │
│ should have pushed for much harsher terms," Sloman wrote. "That said, some have │
│ mistakenly suggested that our office kowtowed to Epstein's high-priced defense │
│ lawyers or, worse, that his lawyers corrupted or intimidated us into submission. ... │
│ Nothing could be further from the truth." │
│ Sloman did not directly address the chief complaint brought by Epstein's victims, │
│ who are now in their late 20S and early 30s. Those who spoke to the Herald said │
│ they felt betrayed by federal prosecutors, who sealed the non-prosecution agreement │
│ from public view so that they wouldn't find out about it before he was sentenced. It │
│ would be almost a year before they were successful in having it unsealed. By then, it │
│ was too late to try to derail it. │
│ They allege, in a federal lawsuit filed against the government, that prosecutors │
│ deliberately kept the deal secret — in violation of federal law — to prevent them │
│ from appearing at Epstein's sentencing to possibly undo the deal. Nor did Sloman │
│ address why prosecutors also gave immunity to a number of Epstein's co- │
│ conspirators, who have never been identified. │
│ "They cut a deal which they have to know was a failure," said Marci Hamilton, a law │
│ professor at the University of Pennsylvania and executive director of Child USA, │
│ which advocates for children's civil liberties. " They kept it secret and they didn't │
│ charge the co-conspirators. The horror of this is if you don't hold all the 'Johns' │
│ accountable, then it doesn't stop. This case involved multiple girls, multiple men, │
│ multiple recruiters, multiple times and he recruited girls to get other girls. That's a │
│ trafficking organization." │
│ Acosta has not commented since 2011, when he defended his decisions in a publicly │
│ issued letter that can be found in the federal court file. In it, he described what he │
│ called a "yearlong assault" on prosecutors by Epstein's "army of legal superstars," │
│ including Roy Black, Kenneth Starr and Alan Dershowitz, among others. In four │
│ long paragraphs, Acosta detailed how defense attorneys relentlessly worked to │
│ manipulate the negotiation process, often frustrating prosecutors. │
│ "They would obtain concessions as part of a negotiation and agree to proceed, only │
│ to change their minds, and appeal the office's decision to Washington," Acosta │
│ wrote, adding that their tactics included delving into the private family lives of │
│ individual prosecutors in an effort to discredit them and get them removed from the │
│ case. │
│ Wrote Sloman: "The Herald's 'Perversion of Justice' series presented a heartrending │
│ portrait of Epstein's victims and made a strong case that he should have gone to jail │
│ much longer, but never explained or substantiated its accusation that we schemed │
│ with Epstein's lawyers." │
│ The Herald's series quoted a trove of letters and emails between prosecutors and │
│ Epstein's defense team that showed that Epstein's lawyers were allowed to dictate │
│ the terms of each deal that they drew up, and prosecutors repeatedly backed down │
│ on deadlines. The lead prosecutor, Marie Villafaria, amid the negotiations wrote to │
│ Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz: "I thought we had worked very well together in │
│ resolving this dispute. ... I feel that I bent over backwards to keep in mind the effect │
│ that the agreement would have on Mr. Epstein." │
│ Where are they now? The biggest players in the Jeffrey Epstein case │
│ The girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and the cops who championed their │
│ cause remain angry over what they regard as a gross injustice, while Epstein's │
│ employees and those who engineered his non-prosecution agreement have │
│ prospered. │
│ The email chain also shows that prosecutors sometimes communicated with the │
│ defense team using private emails, and that their correspondence referenced │
│ discussions that they wanted to have by phone or in person so that there would be │
│ no paper trail, the Herald found. At one point, Acosta met privately with Lefkowitz, │
│ who came from the same Washington, D.C.-based law firm, at a Marriott hotel in │
│ West Palm Beach, the emails showed. It was at that meeting, the records show, │
│ when Acosta agreed to keep the deal secret. │
│ The correspondences also show that Sloman sought several times to have Epstein's │
│ victims notified about the deal, as required under the Crime Victims Rights Act. But │
│ after Epstein's lawyers aggressively objected and appealed to Acosta, it never │
│ happened. │
│ Sloman, however, insisted that Epstein's lawyers' aggressive defense had no bearing │
│ on the office's decision to set aside what court records show was a 53-page federal │
│ indictment it had prepared against Epstein. Sloman said the facts dictated that │
│ Epstein should plead guilty to what he called "a crime in state court that reflected │
│ his true conduct," adding that the case was "at heart, a local sex case." │
│ "It is a gross mischaracterization to describe this as a local sex case," said lawyer │
│ Jack Scarola, a representative of several of Epstein's then-underage victims. "There │
│ was ample evidence that Epstein was operating on a large international scale. The │
│ involvement of the federal government was a consequence of evidence that children │
│ were crossing national and state borders for the purpose of prostitution." │
│ At the time that the case was closed, FBI investigators had identified nearly 40 │
│ victims — and more were coming forward — who said they had been molested or │
│ sexually assaulted by Epstein and some of his co-conspirators. One of those victims, │
│ Courtney Wild, told the Herald that she brought at least 6o girls to his waterfront │
│ Palm Beach estate over time. She wanted Epstein prosecuted — and was willing to │
│ testify — but prosecutors never gave her the chance, she told the Herald. │
│ In addition, FBI records show that agents had traveled to New York and New │
│ Mexico to interview other possible victims, the Herald found. The non-prosecution │
│ deal that was struck was filed under seal. The result was that no one — not even the │
│ judge — would know the full scope of Epstein's crimes and how many victims were │
│ involved. │
│ Acosta, who now heads a federal agency with oversight of international child labor │
│ laws and human trafficking, was personally involved in the negotiations, records, │
│ letters and emails show. │
│ AG nominee Barr pledges to look into handling of Epstein case │
│ Sen. Ben Sasse questioned attorney general nominee William Barr about the Jeffrey │
│ Epstein case on January 15, 2019, getting the nominee to commit to having the │
│ Department of Justice look into the handling of that case if confirmed. │
│ By C-SPAN │
│ Sloman reiterated Acosta's earlier contention that most of Epstein's victims │
│ wouldn't cooperate. │
│ "So somehow, had Epstein been a child molester of one or two victims, then they │
│ would have prosecuted him?" said Wild's attorney, Brad Edwards, in an interview │
│ with the Herald for its series published in November. "But because he molested │
│ hundreds of victims and some of them wouldn't testify, then they are saying, 'we │
│ can't prosecute.' How absurd is that argument?" │
│ Edwards tried unsuccessfully to block the plea deal in federal court. In 2008, days │
│ after Epstein was sentenced, he filed an emergency order, alleging that the │
│ agreement was illegal because it violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which │
│ grants crime victims certain rights, including the right to confer with prosecutors │
│ and be notified of a plea deal. The lawsuit is still pending a decade later. │
│ "There is a reason for the Crime Victims Rights Act — so that prosecutors don't │
│ preempt a victim's ability to speak for themselves about a proposed plea bargain," │
│ Scarola said. "Here, the decision was being made secretly for them." │

│ Jeffrey Epstein is flanked by his legal team during a court hearing in the summer of │
│ 2008. Uma Sanghvi Palm Beach Post via AP │
│ For years, Jeffrey Epstein abused teen girls, police say. A │
│ timeline of his case │
│ PERVERSION │
│ ofJUSTIC │
│ A decade before #MeToo, a multimillionaire sex offender from Florida got the │
│ ultimate break. │
│ 2005 │
│ March: A 14-year-old girl and her parents report that Jeffrey Epstein molested her │
│ at a mansion in Palm Beach. She said a female acquaintance and classmate at Royal │
│ Palm Beach High School had taken her to the house to give him a massage in │
│ exchange for money. │
│ Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly engaged in sexual activity with underage girls at his │
│ waterfront Palm Beach home on El Brillo Way, according to police in the Town of │
│ Palm Beach. Epstein also owns residences in New York City and the U.S. Virgin │
│ Islands, among other locales. Emily Michot emichotPmiamiherald.com │
│ April: Palm Beach police begin trash pulls at Epstein's home, discovering a │
│ telephone message for Epstein with the girl's name on it, and a time that matched │
│ the time that she told police she was there. They find the names and phone numbers │
│ of other girls on message slips in his trash. │
│ October: With the police probe in full swing, one of Epstein's assistants calls one of │
│ the girls just as she is being questioned by police. Investigators begin interviewing │
│ more girls, as well as Epstein's butlers, who tell them that Epstein had frequent │
│ visits from girls throughout the day. On Oct. 20, they execute a search warrant at his │
│ house on El Brillo Way in Palm Beach. │
│ 2006 │
│ May: Police sign a probable cause affidavit charging Epstein and two of his │
│ assistants with multiple counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor. The Palm Beach │
│ state attorney, Barry Krischer, instead refers the case to a grand jury. │
│ Town of │
│ Palm Beach police were unhappy with the handling of the Epstein case by then-State │
│ Attorney Barry Krischer. │
│ June: The grand jury, after hearing from only one girl, returns an indictment of one │
│ count of solicitation of prostitution. The charge does not reflect that the victim in │
│ question and others were minors. │
│ July: Epstein's powerhouse legal team tries to negotiate a deal with the State │
│ Attorney's Office. Lawyers discuss a deferred prosecution in which Epstein would │
│ enter a pretrial intervention program and serve no jail time. │
│ July: After pressure from the Palm Beach police chief, the FBI opens a federal │
│ investigation, dubbed "Operation Leap Year." Documents list the possible crime as │
│ "child prostitution." │
│ November: The FBI begins interviewing potential witnesses and victims from │
│ Florida, New York and New Mexico. │
│ 2007 │
│ May: As the U.S. Attorney's Office prepares to present the case to a federal grand │
│ jury, Epstein's attorneys request a meeting to discuss the investigation. │
│ June: A 53-page indictment is prepared by the U.S. Attorney's Office as, │
│ simultaneously, plea negotiations are initiated with Epstein's legal team. │
│ July: Grand jury subpoenas are issued for Epstein's computers, which were │
│ apparently removed from his Palm Beach home prior to the police search. │
│ August: The U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, enters into direct │
│ discussions about the plea agreement; a motion to compel production of Epstein's │
│ computers is delayed. │
│ September: Federal prosecutors draw up several federal plea agreements that are │
│ rejected by Epstein and his attorneys. Epstein signs a non-prosecution agreement │
│ on Sept. 24, but his attorneys continue to delay his court appearance. │
│ Alexander Acosta has been criticized for his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case as │
│ U.S. attorney. He later became the dean of Florida International University's law │
│ school and, later still, President Trump's secretary of labor. Miami Herald file photo │
│ October: With the non-prosecution agreement still being debated, Acosta meets │
│ with Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz at the West Palm Beach Marriott on Okeechobee │
│ Road to discuss finalizing a deal. Among the terms agreed upon: that the victims │
│ would not be notified, that the deal would be kept under seal and all grand jury │
│ subpoenas would be canceled. │
│ The Marriott hotel in West Palm Beach, at 1001 Okeechobee Blvd., is where U.S. │
│ Attorney Alexander Acosta met with Jeffrey Epstein's attorney to work out a plea │
│ arrangement. Emily Michot emichotPmiamiherald.com │
│ November: Epstein's lawyers object to an addendum to the agreement. The │
│ provision called for a special master to appoint an attorney to represent Epstein │
│ victims' rights to civil compensation. │
│ December: The two sides continue to debate the addendum. Epstein attorney │
│ Kenneth Starr asks for a review of the agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice │
│ in Washington, further delaying its execution. Victims are told the investigation is │
│ continuing. │
│ 2008 │
│ January: Epstein attorney, Lefkowitz, calls Acosta, telling him his client will not go │
│ through with the agreement because it requires him to register as a sex offender. │
│ February: With the plea negotiations and the Justice Department review still in │
│ limbo, the FBI continues its probe, locating more witnesses and evidence. │
│ March: Preparations are made for a new federal grand jury presentation. In court │
│ documents, the U.S. Attorney's Office notes that Epstein's victims are being │
│ harassed by his lawyers, who are not specifically named. │
│ May: The Justice Department issues finding that, if a plea deal is not reached, │
│ Epstein can be federally prosecuted. │
│ Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing │
│ dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never │
│ had a voice, until now. │
│ June: Epstein's lawyers revisit plea negotiations, and on June 30, Epstein appears │
│ in a Palm Beach County courtroom. He pleads guilty to state charges: one count of │
│ solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution with a minor │
│ under the age of 18. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail, followed by a year of │
│ community control or house arrest. He is adjudicated as a convicted sex offender │
│ who must register twice a year in Florida. │
│ July: Epstein's victims learn about his plea in state court after the fact. They file an │
│ emergency petition to force federal prosecutors to comply with the federal Crime │
│ Victims' Rights Act, which mandates certain rights for crime victims, including the │
│ right to be informed about plea agreements and the right to appear at sentencing. │
│ August: Epstein's victims learn that he has already been sent to jail, and that the │
│ federal investigation is over. They seek to have his plea agreement unsealed, but │
│ federal prosecutors argue against releasing the agreement, commencing a yearlong │
│ court battle to learn the terms of Epstein's plea bargain. │
│ October: Epstein begins work release from the county stockade. He is picked up by │
│ his private driver six days a week and transported to an office in West Palm Beach, │
│ where he accepts visitors for up to 12 hours a day. He returns to the stockade in the │
│ evenings to sleep. │
│ Support investigative journalism │
│ The Miami Herald obtained thousands of FBI and court records, lawsuits, and │
│ witness depositions, and went to federal court in New York to access sealed │
│ documents in the reporting of "Perversion of Justice." The Herald also tracked down │
│ more than 6o women who said they were victims, some of whom had never spoken │
│ of the abuse before. │
│ Your digital subscription, starting at $0.99 for the first month, supports │
│ investigative journalism like this. │
│ 2009 │
│ July: Epstein is released from the Palm Beach County stockade, five months early. │
│ He must register as a sex offender and is on probation for a year, confined to his │
│ Palm Beach home except to travel to his office in West Palm Beach. However, │
│ records show he frequently makes trips to Manhattan and to his home in the U.S. │
│ Virgin Islands. │
│ August: Palm Beach Police Capt. George Frick finds Epstein walking along AiA in │
│ the middle of the afternoon, when he was supposed to be at work in his office in │
│ downtown West Palm Beach. Epstein says he is walking to work, even though the │
│ location where he is found is not a direct route to his office. His probation officer │
│ says Epstein has permission to get some exercise. │
│ September: The federal non-prosecution agreement is made public. By │
│ September, at least a dozen civil lawsuits have been filed by women who allege they │
│ were molested by Epstein when they were underage. Epstein begins the process of │
│ settling them out of court. │
│ Jeffrey Epstein never went to federal prison but his butler/houseman, Alfredo │
│ Rodriguez, did, for obstruction of justice. He was busted for hiding Epstein's journal │
│ and trying to sell it. He has since died. © Facebook │
│ November: One of Epstein's former butlers tries to sell to an undercover FBI agent │
│ a black book filled with the names of hundreds of girls and young women that │
│ Epstein allegedly procured for sex and massages. The butler tells FBI agents he │
│ witnessed nude underage girls at Epstein's pool and had known that the millionaire │
│ was having sex with them. He also said he saw pornography involving underage girls │
│ on Epstein's computers. The butler/houseman, Alfredo Rodriguez, is later charged │
│ with obstruction of justice and sentenced to federal prison. He dies in 2015. The │
│ contents of the black book become public as part of several civil lawsuits. │
│ 2010 │
│ April: Flight logs obtained as part of civil lawsuits against Epstein show an │
│ assortment of politicians, academics, celebrities, heads of state and world leaders │
│ flying on Epstein's jets in the early 2000s. Among them: former President Bill │
│ Clinton, former national security adviser Sandy Berger, former Colombian President │
│ Andres Pastrana and lawyer Alan Dershowitz. │
│ 2011 │
│ March: Two of Epstein's victims file a motion in federal court accusing the │
│ government of violating their rights by failing to notify them about the plea deal and │
│ keeping it secret. Among other things, they want the plea deal invalidated in the │
│ hopes of sending Epstein to prison. They accuse federal prosecutors of deceiving │
│ them with "false notification letters." │
│ September: U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra rejects the U.S. Attorney's Office │
│ argument that it was under no obligation to notify victims prior to striking a non- │
│ prosecution agreement with Epstein because there were no federal charges filed │
│ against him. The decision marks a victory for Epstein's victims, but the case will │
│ drag on for seven more years. │
│ November: Epstein must register in New York as the highest and most dangerous │
│ level of sex offender, despite efforts by him and the New York District Attorney's │
│ office to lower the classification. A Level 3 status means "high risk of repeat offense │
│ and a threat to public safety exists," according to the state's guidelines. │
│ 2012 │
│ March-December: Calling himself a "celebrated philanthropist" and a "renowned │
│ educational investor," Epstein undertakes a public relations campaign to counter │
│ bad press about his sexual exploits. His foundation donates millions to scientific │
│ research and sponsors global conferences on ways to achieve world peace and save │
│ the planet. He funds cancer and educational research projects around the country. │
│ 2015 │
│ Virginia Roberts was working at Mar-a-Lago when she was recruited to be a │
│ masseuse to Palm Beach hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein. She was lured into a │
│ life of depravity and sexual abuse. │
│ January: Virginia Roberts files court papers in Florida claiming that she was │
│ forced by Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew and lawyer Alan Dershowitz when │
│ she was underage. In a sworn affidavit, she provides photographs of her with the │
│ prince and with Epstein's close associate, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. She │
│ claims Maxwell worked as Epstein's madam, which she denies. Dershowitz and the │
│ prince deny her claims as well, setting off a series of legal actions between │
│ Dershowitz and Roberts' attorneys that are later resolved in an out-of-court │
│ settlement. │
│ April: A federal judge rules that Roberts cannot join the federal Crime Victims' │
│ Rights Act lawsuit and that her affidavit — accusing Prince Andrew and Dershowitz │
│ of having sex with her when she was underage — be stricken from the case. │
│ Dershowitz said the ruling meant he was vindicated. However, the judge does not │
│ address the veracity of Roberts' claims, writing: "The factual details regarding with │
│ whom and where the Jane Does engaged in sexual activities are immaterial and │
│ impertinent to this central claim." │
│ September: Roberts sues Maxwell in federal court in New York, claiming that │
│ Epstein's alleged madam defamed her in public statements in the media. The │
│ lawsuit is widely viewed as a vessel for Epstein's victims to expose the scope of │
│ Epstein's crimes. Several civil lawsuits filed the same year allege that Epstein and │
│ Maxwell operated an international sex trafficking operation. │
│ Virginia Roberts holds a photo of herself at 16, her age when she met Jeffrey │
│ Epstein. Her life had already been marred by sexual abuse even before she met the │
│ multimillionaire. Emily Michot emichotPmiamiherald.com │
│ 2016 │
│ June: A lawsuit is filed in Manhattan by a woman who once used the name Katie │
│ Johnson, claiming that she was raped by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump │
│ at a party at Epstein's Manhattan mansion in 1994 when she was 13 years old. │
│ Trump and Epstein both categorically deny it ever happened. │
│ 'How in the world, do you, the U.S. attorney, engage in a negotiation with a criminal │
│ defendant, basically allowing that criminal defendant to write up the agreement?' │
│ said Bradley Edwards, shown here, who is representing some of the victims of serial │
│ sex abuser and Palm Beach multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Emily Michot │
│ emichotPmiamiherald.com │
│ November: Johnson backs out of a press conference just days before Election Day, │
│ saying she had been threatened and was fearful. She later drops the lawsuit. │
│ 2017 │
│ February: President Trump nominates former Miami federal prosecutor Acosta as │
│ U.S. secretary of labor. Acosta is compelled at his confirmation hearing to briefly │
│ address questions about the deal he approved for Epstein. One lawmaker requests │
│ more records from the Epstein case. Acosta is confirmed. │
│ June: Roberts settles her lawsuit with Maxwell for an undisclosed sum. │
│ 2018 │
│ December: Civil trial is scheduled in Palm Beach County Court on Bradley │
│ Edwards' allegations that Epstein sued him to punish him for representing several │
│ of his victims. The malicious-prosecution lawsuit is set to begin Dec. 4. Epstein has │
│ indicated he will not appear in court for trial. │
│ The girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and the cops who championed their │
│ cause remain angry over what they regard as a gross injustice, while Epstein's │
│ employees and those who engineered his non-prosecution agreement have │
│ prospered. │

│ Mr. Epstein came today and told me very bluntly that he is annoyed with me not doing the job. I prepared one │
│ column for him │
│ and the several feet of decorative molding, but this was a miss. He told me it looks like it was done yesterday. │
│ This is the very first time that I work like this. I did several projects for French customers in Greenwich, │
│ Conn., but always I │
│ produced the sample and than work │
│ according to the samples. The paneling I work on were early 19 c. so even the oak looked different. Even at the │
│ White House, │
│ when I was restoring Blue Room, which you can look at it on my Website, www.brandonthompsonrestoration.com I │
│ produced │
│ design, made samples and did the project. President Clinton told me this is the most beautiful Room, he was │
│ clearly │
│ impressed. │
│ This time I know exactly what Mr. Epstein wants. However it might be too late. He will come tomorrow to check. │
│ Today I did a lot of prep work for tomorrow. I will go tonight to work on some of the columns but the night light │
│ is deceiving │
│ and I may miss the last chance he gave me. │
│ So far I was rated the best finisher, until now I guess. │
│ Warm regards │

│ Top 10 Media Stocks for 2015 │
│ By Dan Moskowitz March 19, 2015 AAA │
│ Oat' │
│ The following list is broken down into Top-Tier Media Stocks and Speculative Media Stocks. It might surprise │
│ you that some of the names on the latter list aren't on the former list, but there is a simple reason for this, │
│ which │
│ will be revealed below. │
│ Top-Tier Media Stocks │
│ Walt Disney │
│ The Walt Disney Co. (DIS) is one of the strongest brands in the world. It also possesses multiple revenue │
│ streams and pricing power. Q1 EPS jumped 23% year over year based on record revenue. When a company │
│ delivers record revenue, that trend doesn't make a sudden U-turn. If there's going to be a turnaround for the │
│ worse, it will take time to play out, giving you time to exit your position. (For related reading, see: This │
│ Company Is No Mickey Mouse Operation.) │
│ CBS │
│ CBS Corp.'s (CBS) Q4 revenue increased 3% and diluted EPS improved 8%. CBS also announced a $1 billion │
│ share buyback in the first quarter. This will significantly reduce the share count, which should improve │
│ earnings. CBS will once again have Thursday Night Football, and it will be the home of Super Bowl 50. It's │
│ also home to regular-season NFL games, March Madness and The Masters. However, its reach goes well │
│ beyond sports. │
│ Comcast │
│ FY2014 revenue at Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) increased 6.4%. Operating cash flow and EPS improved 6.9% │
│ and 25%, respectively. Comcast also increased its dividend 11% and announced that $4.25 billion of its $10 │
│ billion share buyback program would take place in 2015. (For more, see: This Company is as Unavoidable as it │
│ is Unloved.) │
│ Twenty-First Century Fox │
│ Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc.'s (FOXA) Q2 operating income before depreciation and amortization increased │
│ 12%. Fox studios enjoyed 24 Academy Award nominations in 2015, making it the industry leader. Twenty-First │
│ Century Fox also recently created the Europe's leading pay TV business. │
│ Google │
│ Google Inc. (GOOGL) is known as more of a technology company than a media company, but its YouTube │
│ segment consumes approximately 15% of all broadband traffic in the United States and Canada (only Netflix, │
│ Inc. (NFLX) is higher at 35%). Google also makes this list because of its $62.63 billion in cash, which means it │
│ can enter any business it pleases. If it chooses to expand its media presence, then it would likely steal share │
│ from some of the current industry leaders. (For related reading, see: How Google's Self-Driving Car Will │
│ Change Everything.) │
│ Speculative Media Stocks │
│ Charter Communications │
│ Q4 revenue jumped 9.9% at Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) thanks to higher customer penetration on │
│ Internet, video, and commercial businesses. Another positive is that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A) recently │
│ increased its position in CHTR by adding 1.2 million shares. CHTR now represents 1.35% of the fund's │
│ portfolio. The reason CHTR is on the speculative list is a lack of profitability. │
│ Discovery Communications │
│ Differentiation is the key here thanks to Discovery Communications, Inc.'s (DISCA) success with docudramas. │
│ In FY2014, revenue increased 13%, adjusted earnings per diluted share improved 13%, free cash flow increased │
│ 2%, and $1.4 billion worth of stock was repurchased. The biggest risks here are a challenging U.S. market and │
│ currency headwinds. It should also be pointed out that there is an 11% short position on the stock. (For related │
│ reading, see: A Breakdown of Stock Buybacks.) │
│ Viacom │
│ MTV, VH1, CMT, BET, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, Comedy Central, TV Land, SPIKE, and more. Do these sound │
│ like brands that are likely to suffer? No. Viacom, Inc. (VIA) is a profitable company that pays a small dividend. │
│ On the other hand, a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.88 isn't comforting. │
│ Time Warner │
│ Time Warner Inc. (TWX) has 165 channels across 200 countries. This includes HBO. In FY2014, revenue │
│ increased 3%. That's not spectacular, but adjusted EPS jumped 18%, which now represents six consecutive │
│ years of adjusted EPS growth in the high teens. Time Warner also returned $6.6 billion to shareholders via │
│ dividends and buybacks throughout the year. Over the long haul, cable companies will have a difficult time │
│ competing against streaming services, but all is okay for right now. │
│ Scripps Networks Interactive │
│ Among Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc.'s (SNI) properties are Home and Garden Television, Food Network, │
│ Travel Channel, DIY Network, Cooking Channel and Great American Country. These are strong brands. Strong │
│ enough that Scripps Networks expects FY2015 revenue to increase approximately 4%. The company also │
│ expects selling, general, and administrative expenses to come in between flat and down 2%. Either way, it's a │
│ positive when revenue is outpacing SG&A expenses. Furthermore, Scripps Networks has announced that it's │
│ adding $1 billion to its share buyback program and increasing its dividend by 15%. The risk here is the stock's │
│ sensitivity to broader market corrections. (For a look back to 2009, see: Scripps Network Interactive Worth a │
│ Look.) │
│ Performance Comparisons │
│ Another reason why some stocks made the top list and others did not is performance. If a stock can't appreciate │
│ in a bull market, then how would you expect it to perform when the trend reverses? Capital preservation should │
│ be the number one priority for a savvy investor. Below are total return numbers for each company as of │
│ 3/18/2015). │
│ 1-Year 3-Year 5-Year 10-Year │
│ DIS 33.09% 36.87% 27.03% 15.19% │
│ CBS -3.95% 26.94% 23.19% 12.56% │
│ CMCSA 19.26% 27.62% 23.13% 13.40% │
│ FOXA 6.46% 26.99% 24.13% 8.83% │
│ GOOGL -6.61% 21.87% 14.84% 20.18% │
│ CHTR 50.27% 143.56% 140.36% n/a │
│ DISCA -25.98% 8.93% 13.74% n/a │
│ VIA -20.33% 11.19% 17.28% n/a │
│ TWX 37.35% 38.08% 25.34% 9.86% │
│ SNI 10.10% 15.26% 12.24% n/a │
│ The Bottom Line │
│ The Top-Tier Media Stocks have outperformed Speculative Media Stocks over the past three years (for the most │
│ part). Therefore, you should strongly consider the first set of stocks listed above. While it's entirely possible │
│ they all underperform in 2015 if the market falters, these are elite names that are highly likely to be around │
│ for a │
│ long time. Even if the worst occurs, you will have an opportunity to add more to your position at cheaper prices. │

│ information can be found at the end of │
│ the Alert. │
│ On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed into law a bill that significantly reforms the provisions │
│ of the Internal Revenue Code that were originally added 35 years ago by the Foreign Investment in │
│ Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA). The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the │
│ "PATH Act") also includes extensions of a number of tax relief provisions that expired at the end of │
│ 2015. The PATH Act makes foreign capital investment in U.S. real estate, energy and infrastructure │
│ assets more attractive by expanding certain exemptions from FIRPTA and clarifying the application of │
│ certain FIRPTA provisions to REITs and their shareholders. │
│ I. FOREIGN PENSION FUNDS EXEMPTED FROM FIRPTA TAXATION │
│ One of the most significant provisions of the PATH Act is the addition of a complete exemption from │
│ FIRPTA for "qualified foreign pension funds" and "entities" wholly owned by such funds, effective on │
│ the date of enactment. A foreign pension fund is "qualified" if it is subject to government regulation │
│ and certain reporting requirements in its home jurisdiction, is established to provide retirement or │
│ pension benefits to participants or beneficiaries that are current or former employees, has no greater │
│ than 5 percent beneficiaries, and enjoys tax benefits on either contributions or investment income in │
│ its home jurisdiction. The new exemption applies to direct investments and investments made │
│ through partnerships (including private equity funds). The PATH Act provides for certain details to be │
│ addressed by Treasury Regulations. It appears that the "entities" eligible for the FIRPTA exemption │
│ could include a U.S. or foreign "blocker" corporation that is wholly owned by a qualifying foreign │
│ pension fund. This exemption will, for the first time, permit foreign pension funds, including some │
│ governmental funds, to hold control positions in REITs without losing their FIRPTA exemption. │
│ Note that the regular rules of the Internal Revenue Code other than FIRPTA still would apply to the │
│ foreign pension fund. Therefore, a foreign pension fund that invested in a partnership that was │
│ engaged in a U.S. business (real estate or non-real estate) would still be subject to U.S. federal income │
│ tax on its share of the partnership's "effectively connected" U.S. business income in the same manner │
│ as other non-U.S. persons making an investment in a U.S. business partnership. │
│ Here are some examples of what can be done in light of the changes made by the PATH Act: │
│ A. Raw Land Investment. A qualifying foreign pension fund invests in a partnership that buys raw land │
│ in the United States. (This could be a vacant lot, timberland, oil and gas or mineral property, or other │
│ property interests that qualify for treatment as real property for federal income tax purposes.) The │
│ investment is a capital asset, as the partnership is not engaged in business. The partnership later sells │
│ the property to a developer, or the pension fund sells its partnership interest. Under prior law, the │
│ foreign pension fund's non-business capital gain would automatically be subject to US federal income │
│ tax because of FIRPTA. Under the new law, the foreign pension fund's long-term or short-term capital │
│ gain is exempt from U.S. income tax and FIRPTA withholding because FIRPTA does not apply. │
│ B. Equity Kicker Mortgage Loan Investment. A foreign pension fund acquires an ownership interest │
│ in a mortgage loan secured by U.S. real property. The loan includes stated interest plus an equity │
│ kicker (e.g., additional interest equal to a share of gain realized on sale of the property). Such an │
│ equity kicker loan is treated as a U.S. real property interest under FIRPTA. Under prior law, gain │
│ realized by the foreign pension fund upon sale of the loan would automatically be subject to U.S. │
│ income tax under FIRPTA. Under new law, the gain realized on the sale of the mortgage loan would │
│ be exempt from U.S. income tax. (This conclusion is based on the assumption that the foreign pension │
│ fund is a mere investor and not engaged in an active lending business in the U.S.) │
│ C. U.S. Blocker Corp. Investment. A foreign pension fund wants to make an equity investment in a │
│ U.S. real estate business that is organized as a partnership. The foreign pension fund forms a U.S. │
│ corporation to acquire the partnership interest and the corporation is capitalized with a mix of equity │
│ and debt held by the shareholder. The corporation is subject to U.S. income tax on its net income, but │
│ gets to deduct interest paid or accrued on the debt held by the shareholder. The foreign corporation │
│ later sells the stock of the corporation. Under prior law, the gain on sale of the stock would be subject │
│ to U.S. income tax because the corporation was a "U.S. real property holding corporation" under │
│ FIRPTA. Under new law, FIRPTA does not apply to the foreign pension fund, so the capital gain on sale │
│ of the stock is exempt from U.S. income tax. Note that the U.S.-source interest paid to the foreign │
│ shareholder could be subject to U.S. withholding tax under the regular rules of the Code, but if the │
│ pension fund is organized in a jurisdiction that has a tax treaty with the U.S. (e.g., UK, Germany, │
│ France, China, Japan, etc.), these interest payments could be exempt from U.S. withholding under such │
│ tax treaty. │
│ 2. FIRPTA EXEMPTION FOR INVESTMENTS IN PUBLICLY TRADED REIT STOCK INCREASED FROM 5 │
│ PERCENT to 10 PERCENT │
│ For publicly traded REITs, the PATH Act opens the door to increased investment by expanding the │
│ current statutory exemption from FIRPTA for small portfolio investments by non-U.S. persons. The Act │
│ provides all foreign investors (not just pension funds) can now own up to 10 percent of the stock of a │
│ publicly traded REIT without triggering FIRPTA tax. Under prior law, FIRPTA tax would apply upon the │
│ foreign investor's sale of stock of the publicly traded REIT or the receipt of certain distributions from │
│ such REIT if the foreign investor holds more than 5 percent of the REIT's stock. │
│ 3. CLARIFICATION OF THE EXEMPTION FOR INVESTMENTS IN DOMESTICALLY CONTROLLED REITS │
│ The PATH Act includes important clarifying presumptions that will allow publicly traded REITs and their │
│ shareholders to rely with greater confidence on the current law FIRPTA exemption for gains realized │
│ on sales of stock in "domestically controlled" REITS. In determining whether a REIT is domestically │
│ controlled, the REIT is now permitted to presume that any owner of less than 5 percent of any publicly │
│ traded shares of the REIT is a U.S. person, unless the REIT has actual knowledge to the contrary. │
│ 4. REVENUE RAISING PROVISIONS RELATING TO FIRPTA AND REITs │
│ The PATH Act includes certain revenue raising provisions to offset, in part, the tax revenue loss │
│ anticipated to result of the above-described tax reform provisions of the Act. Such revenue raisers │
│ include (among other technical changes) the following provisions: │
│ A. Increase in FIRPTA Withholding Rate. The purchaser of a U.S. real property interest from a non- │
│ U.S. person was previously required to withhold 10 percent of the purchase price under FIRPTA. The │
│ PATH Act increases this rate to 15 percent for dispositions occurring after the 60th day following │
│ enactment, but maintains the 10 percent rate for sales of residential property for between $300,000 │
│ and $1,000,000. This provision is not a tax increase but is designed to ensure that FIRPTA withholding │
│ collects a sufficient portion of the taxes owed. │
│ B. Restriction on REIT Spin-offs. In recent years, it has become increasingly common for large │
│ corporate taxpayers to reduce their tax bills by contributing real estate used in their businesses to a │
│ subsidiary, spinning off the subsidiary in a tax free transaction under Code section 355, and then │
│ having the spun-out corporation making a REIT election. The PATH Act curtails such activity by (i) │
│ providing that neither the distributing corporation nor the spun-out corporation can make a REIT │

│ such U.S. tax law changes. │

│ Clinton vs. Trump: A sweep by either party would likely rattle markets │
│ Our S&P targets and sector strategy assume a balanced outcome from the US general election on Nov 8th │
│ that maintains the current split in power. However, if Democrats keep the Presidency and take Senate or │
│ Republicans take the Presidency and keep Senate, it likely brings policy uncertainty and market volatility. │
│ Longer-term, it will be the policies and implementation that will influence markets, which both parties, many │
│ individuals and circumstances will craft. This note identifies sectors, industries and stocks that we think would │
│ be price sensitive to an unbalanced election outcome tilted toward one party. │
│ Dividing issues: Taxes, trade, favored infrastructure types and monetary policy │
│ It's difficult to pin down specific policies from either candidate, but on several economic issues their general │
│ bias is clear. These issues include taxes, trade deals, favored types of infrastructure — such as green vs │
│ conventional energy, preference for monetary policy, and also their expressed views on industries such as │
│ Health Care and Energy. It is the gist of the candidate's preference on these issues that we used to identify │
│ sectors and stocks sensitive to a sweep. │
│ Big banks might outperform small banks and oil might go down on Rep sweep │
│ While many of our conclusions align with conventional judgment, we think we differ in that we think a Rep │
│ sweep could: 1) be good for some domestic oil producers, as it should permit more drilling, but negative to the │
│ recovery in oil and gas prices, as more supply, and thus negative for the broad Energy sector, 2) bring │
│ somewhat faster Fed hikes and a stronger dollar than otherwise, 3) the first two could lead to lower inflation │
│ and a flatter yield curve than otherwise would be. One could argue that Trump sized tax cuts and an │
│ infrastructure and defense spending spree would steepen the curve, but we think this unlikely while │
│ Republicans control the House. If Fed hikes bring yield curve flattening then big banks and capital markets │
│ likely outperform small banks and insurance companies. Slow hikes that allow inflation to accelerate and │
│ steepen the curve might favor smaller banks and insurance, but this could pressure PEs at non-financials. If │
│ the Fed falls too far behind the curve, higher long-term rates could threaten the stock market, real estate and │
│ the overall economy. │

│ not sure your thoughts on likelihood of his plan (with very little details) passing │

│ plan │
│ your itemized deductions on the last 2 years returns were as follows: │
│ 2015 1,721,474 │
│ 2014 739,139 │
│ the two biggest items on your itemized are RE Taxes of approximately 600,000 per year and investment interest │
│ expense from STC K-1 with the majority coming from boothbay │
│ i thought that 2016 may be a good year to contribute appreciated stock to gratitude or enhanced for three │
│ reasons: │
│ a) potential cap on itemized per trump │
│ b) very low EDC income this year so your effective tax rate is higher │
│ c) if itemized stays however tax rates go down charitable deduction is worth more in 2016 │

│ Rich, following up on your question from a while back about this topic. Please find a white paper attached. │
│ Regards, │
│ Amanda │
│ The election of Donald Trump as President is expected to lead to significant tax law changes. The tax changes may │
│ come │
│ in two parts: from the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) and its related taxes and from comprehensive │
│ tax │
│ reform. Since Republicans will also have majorities in both the House and Senate, such changes could be │
│ undertaken │
│ without bipartisan support. Although it is not yet known exactly what the changes will be or when they would be │
│ effective, we are issuing this Tax Alert to inform you of changes that are anticipated, based on proposals made │
│ during │
│ the campaign by both President-elect Trump and the House Republicans. We also discuss how these changes may │
│ impact your planning, both currently and in the future. │

│ The US team is out with their 2017 Year Ahead this morning (link) running through ALL sub-sectors with each │
│ analysts │
│ top pick into the new year. │
│ op Picks — ACAD, AGN, ANTM, CELG, CVS, DHR, EW, EVHC, RARE, REGN, WBA │
│ Washington DC Backdrop │
│ Given the clean sweep by the GOP & uncertainty around the ACA, key attention is paid by Andy Bressler to a review │
│ of │
│ the various scenarios that could play out early next year. With a repeal likely to happen well before a replace │
│ (essentially via the Budget Reconciliation process in Jan/Feb), Andy notes this is likely to include a repeal of │
│ both │
│ health insurance exchange subsidies & a phase-down of Medicaid expansion funding (albeit with a two or three year │
│ transition period). │
│ He also expects a repeal of many of the larger HC related taxes in the ACA, including the HIX ($14.3bn in 2018), │
│ Medtech Tax (2.3%), pharma industry tax ($4.1bn in 2018) & Cadillac tax (effective 2020). │
│ As for the views by analysts... │
│ Biotech (+) — believe sector will outperform largely as pricing risk has diminished (although will remain in │
│ pockets) but │
│ pipelines/growth remains. Ying's top picks are CELG & REGN; Tazeen's top picks are kCAD & RARE. │
│ Spec Pharma (-) — headwinds remain w/ Sumant's top pick AGN given lower risk to reimbursement pressures & an │
│ underappreciated pipeline. Leverage & CF remain the key focus for investors. │
│ Tools/Animal Health (=) — Derik notes more "headline" than "real" risks from policy which will create │
│ opportunities for a │
│ group growing MSD, although valuations remain above peers. (US 1 name) top pick, also A, ZTS in Animal │
│ Health, in Diagnostics & in Services. │
│ Medtech (=) — Hopkins' expects a mixed bag in 2017 w/ stocks trading close to 5yr valuation lows; EW top pick │
│ given │
│ best growth / purest innovation story. │
│ Facilities (-) — Fischbeck notes that uncertainty will remain an overhang for hospitals as repeal/replace a │
│ negative for │
│ the group (est losing 2-3mm Medicaid lives & 2-3mm exchange lives would be a 1-2% EBITDA hit on avg). Focus on │
│ company-specific stories like │
│ MCOs (+) — Fischbeck generally +ve under Trump (especially around MA given historical support from GOP) w/ │
│ tailwinds from corporate tax & rising rates. top pick in given valuation & tailwinds. │
│ Distribution/Tech (=) — Valiquette prefers pharmacies ,,,'VS/WBA given benefits from decelerating generic prices │
│ (which will remain an overhang for Distributors). HHS appointment a —ve for HCIT. │

│ Private equity has direct line to new administration │
│ Jan. 19, 2017 12:05 PM ET1By: Stephen Alpher, SA News Editor │
│ There's not just Wilbur Ross who will serve as Commerce Secretary, but also Blackstone (NYSE:BX) CEO │
│ Steve Schwarzman who will chair the President's Strategic and Policy Forum, and attorney Jay Clayton - who │
│ has advised on numerous major P-E deals - to lead the SEC. │
│ Aside from those official posts, the president-elect has met with the heads of Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) │
│ and KKR since his election. │
│ "There seems to be more interest in the advice of real-world practitioners than in the past," says the head of │
│ the │
│ P-E industry's D.C. lobbying group. "This is encouraging." │
│ Indeed. Among P-E's top priorities is carried interest - one of the few things Trump and Clinton agreed on │
│ during the campaign. Carried interest is currently taxed at 23.8% vs. the top ordinary income tax rate of 39.6%. │
│ Like Clinton, Trump wanted carried interest taxed as ordinary income, though Trump would lower the top rate │
│ to 33%. Other tax law changes Trump is proposing could cut the effective tax rate further - perhaps to as low as │
│ 25%, or just marginally higher than currently. │
│ Another big priority is retaining the tax deductibility of interest. Trump wants to give companies the ability to │
│ either keep that deduction or pass and gain the ability to immediately expense capital investment. A plan by │
│ House Republicans might not be as favorable. │

│ REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE ALERT │
│ FEBRUARY 15, 2017 │
│ TIC Form SHC Deadline Approaching - Form Deadline is │
│ March 3, 2017 │
│ The U.S. Department of the Treasury recently released a revised Form SHC. Form SHC, which is part of │
│ the Treasury International Capital ("TIC") data reporting system, is the mandatory five-year benchmark │
│ survey of the ownership of foreign securities by U.S. residents. Absent an announcement of a delay │
│ from the Trump administration, the report is due to the Federal Reserve Board of NY ("FRBNY") by March │
│ 3, 2017 for data reportable as of December 31, 2016. │
│ All U.S. resident custodians and end-investors with holdings of foreign portfolio securities above the │
│ reporting thresholds must report. In addition, all U.S.-resident custodians and end-investors that are │
│ notified by the FRBNY are required to file a report. │
│ The reporting threshold for Schedule 2 is $200 million in total fair value of all foreign securities owned │
│ by the SHC Reporter and not held with a U.S.-resident custodian. The reporting threshold for Schedule │
│ 3 is $200 million in total fair value of foreign securities held with any one unaffiliated U.S.-resident │
│ custodian that is not a central securities depository. │
│ Custodians are all organizations that hold securities in safekeeping for other organizations. Most U.S.- │
│ resident custodians also invest in foreign securities for their own account. U.S.-resident custodians │
│ should report both the foreign portfolio securities held in safekeeping for other U.S. residents and their │
│ own foreign portfolio securities. │
│ End-investors are U.S.-resident organizations that invest in foreign securities for their own portfolios or │
│ invest on behalf of others, such as investment managers/fund sponsors. This includes securities that are │
│ held-for-trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. U.S.-resident end-investors include, but are not │
│ limited to: │
│ • Financial and non-financial organizations │
│ • Managers of private and public pension funds │
│ • Managers/sponsors of funds, country funds, unit-investment funds, exchange-traded funds, │
│ collective-investment trusts, hedge funds or any other similarly pooled, commingled funds. Also │
│ managers/sponsors of private equity companies, venture capital companies, hedge funds and other │
│ private investment vehicles │
│ • Insurance companies │
│ • Foundations │
│ • Institutions of higher learning │
│ • Trusts and estates │
│ • Funds and similar entities that own shares or units of, or other portfolio equity interests in, │
│ a foreign related or non-related entity │
│ Form SHC is comprised of three schedules: │
│ Schedule 1 - Must be filed by all entities thati) receive a copy of the SHC forms and instructions │
│ from the FRBNY, or 2) are notified by the FRBNY that they are required to file the SHC report. │
│ Schedule 1 requests information that identifies the reporter. It also provides contact │
│ information, indicates the reporting status, and summarizes the data, if any, reported on │
│ Schedule 2 and/or Schedule 3. │
│ Schedule 2 - Used to report detailed information on foreign securities owned by U.S.-resident │
│ investors (1) that the reporter safe-keeps for itself or for its U.S.-resident clients or (2) for which │
│ the reporter directly employs foreign-resident sub-custodians or U.S.-resident or foreign- │
│ resident central securities depositories (CSDs) to manage the safekeeping of those securities │
│ (Foreign securities in safekeeping with U.S.-resident CSDs are reportable on Schedule 2.) or (3) │
│ that are instruments of the type that there is no U.S. custodian to manage the safekeeping of │
│ those securities. │
│ Schedule 3 - Used to report summary amounts for all foreign securities entrusted to the │
│ safekeeping of a U.S.-resident custodian, excluding those entrusted to a U.S. - resident CSD. │
│ Completed reports may be submitted to the FRBNY on paper or electronically through the Federal │
│ Reserve Reporting Central System. Additional information and a copy of the Form SCH are available │
│ here. │

│ David Woo just sent this — please let me know if you'd like an update on his Washington/market views │
│ More sign that VAT is making its way into the discussion.... │
│ As you all know, I have been arguing that VAT make tremendous economic sense │
│ A VAT has all the virtues of a BAT without any of its drawbacks │
│ The fact that this is being discussed makes me think that we are getting to a more serious stage of the │
│ negotiation over │
│ tax reform │
│ This news is bullish for Trump trades, at least for the medium-term │
│ White House explores two new tax ideas — a value-added tax and carbon tax — as leading proposal to raise revenue │
│ falters │
│ Washington Post │
│ April 4 │
│ By Damian Paletta and Max Ehrenfreund │
│ President Trump's administration is exploring the creation of two controversial new taxes — a value-added tax and │
│ a │
│ carbon tax — as part of a broad overhaul of the tax code, according to an administration official and one other │
│ person │
│ briefed on the process. │
│ The value-added tax, which is popular in many other countries, would serve as a kind of national sales tax, one │
│ that │
│ consumers would pay when they make purchases and that businesses would pay for supplies, services and raw │
│ materials. A carbon tax would target the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases in the burning │
│ of │
│ gasoline, coal and other fossil fuels. │
│ The study of the new options — which would represent major changes to American economic policy — comes as the │
│ administration looks to tax reform as its next major battleground for implementing its agenda. Trump wants to cut │
│ taxes sharply, but his advisers are looking for ways to raise revenue so as not to create a giant hole in the │
│ deficit. │
│ Administration officials stressed that no final decision has been made and they are reviewing different │
│ alternatives. │
│ Two officials and a third person confirmed the consideration of the value-added tax, while one official and the │
│ third │
│ person confirmed the consideration of the carbon tax. │
│ The search for new options reflects a recognition of the political challenges facing a proposal known as a │
│ border- │
│ adjustment tax that the White House and some Republicans had begun to rally around. The proposal, effectively a │
│ tax │
│ on imports, would not only raise needed revenue but also serve to fulfill Trump's pledge to protect American │
│ companies from unfair export competition. │
│ The tax would create incentives for companies to manufacture and produce goods domestically. But the proposal is │
│ unpopular with many other Republicans, who have said it would raise costs for consumers on things such as │
│ automobiles, electronics and clothing. │
│ A value-added tax and a carbon tax have long been favored tools among economists, including some on the right, to │
│ raise revenue in a way that supports economic growth. But the prospect of any new taxes has long drawn skepticism │
│ from Republicans. │

│ Estate Planning After the Enactment of the Tax Cuts │
│ and Jobs Act │
│ On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the "Tax Cuts and Jobs │
│ Act" into law. The new legislation represents a compromise between │
│ House and Senate Republicans on their respective tax overhaul │
│ proposals, and is the most significant tax reform legislation to be │
│ enacted in over thirty years. Although the inherent complexities of the │
│ new legislation, combined with the whirlwind pace of its passage, poses │
│ many questions for analysts and tax practitioners alike as they begin to │
│ navigate the new tax system, we do have an understanding of what the │
│ new law will mean for high net worth individuals interested in advancing │
│ their estate planning goals. │
│ Most of the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") became │
│ effective on January 1st, and will sunset (or default to prior law) after │
│ December 31, 2025, absent further congressional action. In addition to │
│ extensive income tax related changes, including modifications to the │
│ individual and corporate income tax rates, doubling of the standard │
│ income tax deduction, capping of the state and local tax deduction, │
│ elimination of the personal income tax exemption, increase in the │
│ exemption for the alternative minimum tax, and decrease in the │
│ mortgage interest deduction, the Act temporarily doubles the federal │
│ estate, generation-skipping transfer ("GST") and gift tax exemption │
│ amounts, thereby offering high net worth families enhanced planning │
│ opportunities. │

│ this Alert with your regular Sadis & │
│ Goldberg contact or with any of the │
│ partners whose names and contact │
│ information can be found at the end of │
│ the Alert. │
│ The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), which was signed into law by President Trump on December │
│ 22, 2017, contains the most sweeping federal tax law changes since 1986. Most provisions of the Tax │
│ Act take effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. This Client Alert is not intended │
│ to be a comprehensive review of this massive legislation. The Alert focuses on certain provisions of │
│ the Tax Act that may have the most significant impact on asset management firms, their owners, their │
│ investment vehicles, and the investors in such funds. Certain changes made by the Tax Act are │
│ permanent but many others are scheduled to expire after 2025 unless extended by further │
│ Congressional legislation. │
│ I. Carried Interest Survives in Modified Form │
│ The Tax Act contains changes to the treatment of "carried interests", but such changes are not as │
│ negative as the prior legislative changes that had been proposed but never adopted. The granting of a │
│ "future profits only" interest in a partnership in connection with the performances of services to the │
│ partnership continues to be eligible for tax-free treatment under the new law. For certain owners of │
│ "Applicable Partnership Interests" (of the sort that would generally be issued by an investment │
│ partnership to the general partner), the Act applies a three-year holding period requirement for capital │
│ gains derived by the partnership (or from the disposition of the profits interest) to be eligible for the │
│ long-term capital gains tax rate (instead of the generally applicable one-year holding threshold). │
│ The change in carried interest taxation clearly impacts managers of hedge funds more than managers │
│ of private equity funds or real estate funds, which typically have a longer than three-year holding period │
│ for investments in their portfolio companies or real estate assets. The new tax treatment applies to │
│ income realized in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and existing carried interests are not │
│ grandfathered. Thus, it appears that any unrealized capital gains which have already been allocated to │
│ a general partner on the books of the partnership would be subject to the new tax treatment at the time │
│ the partnership realizes such gains in 2018 or subsequent years. │
│ Note, however, that the Tax Act does not change the current federal income tax treatment of carried │
│ interest allocations of "qualified dividends" to individuals, which are also taxed at long-term capital gains │
│ rates. The capital gains from the carried interest that fail to satisfy the new three-year holding period │
│ requirement are treated as "short-term capital gains" which are taxable at ordinary income rates. │
│ The "Applicable Partnership Interest" held by the general partner or an affiliate should not include any │
│ portion of the partnership interest that is attributable to capital contributed to the partnership by the │
│ general partner. The exact manner on how such exception will apply will need to be addressed in future │
│ IRS notices or regulations to be issued. Limited partners holding capital interests in private investment │
│ funds are also not affected and therefore retain the one-year holding period requirement for long-term │
│ capital gain treatment. │
│ Note also that the term "Applicable Partnership Interest" does not include an interest held directly or │
│ indirectly by a corporation and it currently appears that such exception includes holdings by both C │
│ corporations and S corporations. It is likely that further guidance will be issued on this question, as it │
│ may be advantageous for certain general partners to convert their existing entities that hold the carried │
│ interest to S corporations, and such general partners may have until March 15, 2018 to accomplish such │
│ conversion. │
│ Managers of hedge funds and other partnerships that do not hold capital assets for more than three │
│ years before their sale may consider whether the carried interest incentive allocation should be replaced │
│ with an incentive fee structure. Also, the reduced after-tax value of a carried interest partnership │
│ allocation may impact the management company's executive compensation arrangements. │
│ Although an earlier version of the tax legislation would have repealed the exemption in the Code which │
│ provides that a limited partner's income is exempt from self-employment tax, the final version of the │
│ Tax Act does not contain such change in law. │
│ II. New 21% Corporate Income Tax Rate and Reduction of the Maximum Rates Applicable to │
│ Individuals │
│ The Tax Act reduces the 35 percent corporate rate to a flat 21 percent corporate rate. There is no special │
│ higher rate for personal service corporations (as existed under prior law). The new 21 percent rate is │
│ effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The corporate alternative tax (AMT) │
│ has also been repealed. Such corporate tax changes are permanent. In contrast, the highest applicable │
│ federal income tax rate for individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers is reduced from 39.6% to │
│ 37%. In addition, the 3.8% "add-on" Medicare contributions tax on an individual's net investment │
│ income remains in effect. │
│ 1. Possible Use of a "C" Corporation as a Tax Shelter │
│ Since the new 21% corporate tax rate is now well below the highest rate applicable to high income │
│ individuals, some investment managers may conclude that some or all of their management entities │
│ that are pass through partnerships should convert to corporate form. In addition, certain partnership │
│ funds that are engaged in trade or business, such as active loan origination or real estate activities may │
│ find it advantageous to convert to corporate form. │
│ The advantage to the corporate form of organization is that the C corporation's net income after taxes │
│ is not taxable to its shareholders until it is distributed (e.g., either as a dividend or as a redemption of │
│ stock (i.e., as a capital gain)). Corporations that are engaged in active businesses are able to retain and │
│ reinvest their earnings. Also relevant to choice of entity decisions is the fact that the Tax Act restricts │
│ the ability of individuals to deduct more than $10,000 in state and local taxes, but corporations can │
│ continue to deduct such taxes as under prior law. │
│ However, there are certain anti-abuse provisions that remain in the Internal Revenue Code that limit │
│ the use of a C corporation as a tax shelter. Lurking in the Code is a provision which allows the Internal │
│ Revenue Service to impose a 20 percent additional "accumulated earnings" income tax on the │
│ "accumulated taxable income" of a corporation if such taxable income is allowed to accumulate "beyond │
│ the "reasonable needs of the business". There is a $250,000 safe harbor for most corporations, while │
│ personal service corporations are allowed a safe harbor of only $150,000. There is also a 20 percent tax │
│ on the "personal holding company income" (i.e., passive investment income) of certain closely held C │
│ corporations (i.e., when five or fewer individuals own, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent of the │
│ corporation's stock and at least 60 percent of the corporation's adjusted ordinary income is personal │
│ holding company income (e.g., passive investment income)). These penalty taxes on corporations have │
│ received little attention in recent decades. However, with the enactment of the sharply lower corporate │
│ tax rate, these anti-abuse rules are likely to become a significant focus of the IRS in its audits of tax │
│ returns of privately held corporations. │
│ 2. The New Deduction for Qualified Business Income of Pass Through Entities │
│ Congress also wanted to provide an income tax rate reduction for those businesses that are organized │
│ as partnerships or S corporations or which are owned by sole proprietors. In order to meet this goal, the │
│ Tax Act provides an income tax deduction for individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers equal to (i) │
│ 20 percent of their domestic "qualified business income"; plus (ii) 20 percent of any qualifying dividends │
│ from real estate investment trusts, qualifying income from publicly traded partnerships, and gain │
│ derived from sale of such publicly traded partnerships that would be treated as ordinary │
│ income. Therefore, such deduction results in an effective federal income tax rate of 29.6% on such │
│ qualifying income for a top bracket individual. The deduction does not apply to investment income (i.e., │
│ capital gains, dividends (other than certain ordinary income dividends paid by REITs), and most interest │
│ income). In addition, it does not apply to reasonable compensation income and guaranteed payments │
│ paid to the taxpayer from the business. │
│ The 20 percent of "qualified business income" deduction described in (i) above is also generally limited │
│ to the greater of either (a) 50% of the W-2 wages paid with respect to the qualified trade or business, │
│ or (b) the sum of 25% of the W-2 wages paid with respect to such business plus 2.5% of the unadjusted │
│ tax basis of all qualified business property of such business. Thus, if the partnership, S corporation or │
│ sole proprietorship does not pay "W-2 wages" and the second limitation is a minor amount or not │
│ applicable, the owner or pass through taxpayer's tax deduction would be a minor amount or zero. │
│ Unfortunately, partners or owners of certain types of professional service businesses, including │
│ financial services providers, investment managers, brokers, consultants, lawyers and accountants (and │
│ others), are not permitted to claim the "qualified business income" deduction unless the taxpayer's │
│ adjusted gross income is below certain levels ($207,500 for individuals and $365,000 for married couples │
│ filing jointly). Even in such case, the benefit of the available deduction is phased out ratably as the │
│ taxpayer's income exceeds $157,500 if single, or $315,000 if filing a joint tax return. Therefore, fund │
│ managers organized as pass through entities are not likely to, and investment funds organized as │
│ partnerships will not, derive a significant benefit from this deduction. │
│ ISSUES FOR PARTNERSHIP FUNDS │
│ 1. Repeal of Itemized Deductions Previously Available to Non-Corporate Taxpayers for Non-Business │
│ Investment Expenses │
│ For 2018 through 2025, the Tax Act completely repeals the deductions previously allowed to individuals │
│ and other non-corporate taxpayers for "miscellaneous itemized deductions" (which were subject to a │
│ 2% floor and a phase-out rule under prior law). It is important to note that for individual investors in │
│ partnership funds that are not treated as engaged in a trade or business, the investor's share of the │
│ fund's investment expenses, including management fees, would now pass through as non-deductible │
│ miscellaneous itemized deductions. If the fund is properly classified as an active "trader" rather than a │
│ mere investor, then such expenses would be completely deductible as trade or business expenses. This │
│ Tax Act change obviously puts considerable strain on the fund manager and its tax advisors with respect │
│ to the trader vs. investor issue. At this time, there is a lack of clear guidance from the Internal Revenue │
│ Service on what level of trading activity is sufficient for a professionally managed fund to qualify as a │
│ "trader fund". │
│ In cases where a partnership fund's expected activities are not likely to qualify for trader status or │
│ another trade or business, the fund's sponsor may find that US high net worth individuals may now │
│ prefer to invest in the offshore corporate feeder fund instead of the onshore partnership fund. The US │
│ income tax reason for this would be that since the offshore feeder is classified as a corporation for US │
│ tax purposes, its net income would be calculated under the rules applicable to corporations, for which │
│ there are no miscellaneous itemized deductions. Thus, assuming that the foreign feeder is a passive │
│ foreign investment company (PFIC), if the US high net worth shareholder is able to make the "qualified │
│ electing fund" election, the net income the investor would be required to report on his federal income │
│ tax return would be calculated after deducting all of the corporation's expenses, including management │
│ fees and investment expenses. │
│ 2. Non-US Partner's Gain on Sale of Partnership Interest may be Taxable as US Trade or Business │
│ Income; New Withholding Requirements apply to the Purchaser or the Fund │
│ The Tax Act specifically provides that gains realized by a non-US partner on a sale or exchange of a │
│ partnership interest will be treated as effectively connected US trade or business income ("Ed") to the │
│ extent that such partner would have been allocated [Cl had the partnership sold all of its assets. This │
│ provision is consistent with the IRS position in Revenue Ruling 91-32, and overrules a recent Tax Court │
│ case which had rejected the position taken in such IRS Ruling and instead held that since a partnership │
│ interest is treated as a capital asset, the foreign person's gain on its sale could escape US income taxation │
│ as a non-business capital gain. │
│ To the extent that a partnership has any [Cl-generating assets (including US real property interests), a │
│ seller of a partnership interest will have to provide a certificate that it is not a foreign person, and in the │
│ absence of such a certificate a purchaser (which could include the fund) will be required to withhold │
│ 10% of the gross purchase price. Further, the Tax Act provides that if the purchaser does not withhold, │
│ the partnership is required to withhold on distributions to such purchaser to cover the withholding. The │
│ Tax Act provides that the new withholding obligation for purchasers is effective for sales or other │
│ dispositions of partnership interests after December 31, 2017. │
│ 3. New Limitation on Deduction of Net Interest Expense │
│ Under prior law, subject to some restrictions and limitations, business interest paid or accrued by a │
│ business was fully deductible. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act limits │
│ the deduction for "net business interest" expense for every type of business, regardless of entity form, │
│ to 30 percent of adjusted taxable income. Business interest paid or accrued after the effective date on │
│ indebtedness, including debt that was incurred prior to the effective date of the Tax Act, is subject to │
│ this limitation. │
│ The term business interest does not include investment interest described in Code section │
│ 163(d). Operating companies, such as management entities, and investment funds that are engaged in │
│ a business and have outstanding indebtedness could be subject to such deduction limitation. For this │
│ purpose, "adjusted taxable income" is determined at the entity level for partnerships, and is similar to │
│ EBITDA (i.e., net earnings before deducting interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for │
│ taxable years 2018 through 2021. A more restrictive 20% of [BIT limitation (net earnings before │
│ deducting interest expense and taxes) applies for 2022 and later years. │
│ Certain taxpayers are exempted for the new interest deductibility limitation, including small businesses │
│ with average annual gross receipts of $25 million or less for the three prior taxable years, as well as real │
│ estate businesses that elect out of such limitation. The Conference Committee Report on the Tax Act │
│ clarified that interest paid on shareholder loans by a blocker corporation is "business interest" that is │
│ subject to this new limitation. Blocker corporations for a lending business would have business interest │
│ income, which reduces the effect of this new limitation on net business interest expense (i.e., deductible │
│ business interest expense in excess of business interest income). │
│ 4. Deemed Repatriation Tax │
│ One of the major tax raising provisions in the Tax Act is a one-time tax imposed on the accumulated │
│ earnings held in foreign subsidiaries of US companies. This provision is broader that it may first │
│ appear. Under the Tax Act, any 10% US shareholder of a foreign corporation (determined on December │
│ 31, 2017) will be required to include in income, for the taxable year 2017, its proportionate share of the │
│ foreign corporation's undistributed earnings, if the foreign corporation is either a controlled foreign │
│ corporation (CFC) or has at least one 10% US shareholder that is a corporation. │
│ This law change could generate significant phantom income with respect to 10%-or-greater owned │
│ foreign portfolio companies both (i) for US taxable investors (including the general partner and its │
│ owners) in partnership funds organized in the United States and/or for US sponsors of non-US │
│ funds. The Tax Act provides for reduced tax rates on such income for corporate investors of 8% (for │
│ earnings invested in tangible business assets) and 15.5% (for cash and cash equivalents), and 9.05% and │
│ 17.54% for investors taxed as individuals. │
│ 5. Tax-Free Section 1031 Like Kind Exchanges Eliminated Except for Real Property Transactions │
│ The Tax Act eliminates the ability to qualify for tax-free exchange treatment under Code section 1031 if │
│ the property being exchanged is personal property. Consequently, for transactions occurring after │
│ December 31, 2017, exchanges of artwork, equipment, vehicles or other personal property held for │
│ investment or for use in a business, including Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, for like kind property │
│ will not eligible for Section 1031 tax treatment. Exchanges of real property continue to be eligible for │
│ Section 1031 exchange treatment. │
│ 6. Certain Tax Accounting Rules Have Been Revised │
│ Under prior law, net operating losses (NOLs) could be carried back two years and carried forward for │
│ twenty years. Under the Tax Act, NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 generally │
│ cannot be carried back, but can be carried forward indefinitely. However, only 80% of a company's │
│ taxable income is permitted to be offset by NOLs. The remainder of the unused NOLs will carry forward. │
│ The Tax Act also expands the category of corporations and partnerships that are eligible to use the cash │
│ method of accounting. Certain businesses may derive a tax benefit by switching from the accrual │
│ method to the cash method of accounting. │
│ 7. Deferred Compensation │
│ The Tax Act generally leaves the current tax rules for deferred compensation intact. However, the Act │
│ also includes a new deferral provision for certain types of broad-based employee equity, which may │
│ apply to certain private companies. │
│ 8. Estate and Gift Tax Changes │
│ In 2017, an individual could give or transfer at death up to $5,490,000 without paying gift or estate taxes. │
│ The Tax Act doubles the federal estate and gift tax unified exemption amount for estates of decedents │
│ dying and gifts made after December 31, 2017, and inflation adjustments will continue to │
│ apply. Therefore, in 2018, an individual has approximately an $11.2 million exemption, and a married │
│ couple has approximately $22.4 million of available shelter from federal gift and estate taxation. Note │
│ that the large exemption which applies to gifts may be useful in federal income tax planning. For │
│ example, large lifetime gifts of appreciated securities, artwork and other personal property (including │
│ possibly, a carried interest) to relatives who are in lower income tax brackets, or who reside in states │
│ with lower, or no state income taxes could save the family substantial federal income and/or state │
│ income taxes when such property is sold by the recipient of the gift. │

│ Saudi trade continues to gain momentum as we head into March 28 FTSE decision, followed by MSCI in June. │
│ Our base case is for a positive outcome for both EM index reviews. │
│ • Tadawul +5% past 3 sessions printing new 3 year highs, Foreign inflows YTD at $1.35bn │
│ • Recent headline on Aramco: Saudi Aramco likely to be delayed to 2019. Delay not all together surprising giving │
│ complexity of the transaction, delays in choosing │
│ the trading venues, as well as to better align the IPO with potential MSCI / FTSE index inflow timelines │
│ • Crown Prince MBS will appear on '60 Minutes' on March 18th, one day before he lands in the US for a 10 day │
│ tour, meeting Trump on the 20th. │
│ • Reform agenda picking up speed: Women Driving; Entertainment/Movie Theaters; Welfare Programs; Market access │
│ reforms & Intl debt issues │
│ Saudi Fundamentals are strong (see Jean-Michel Saliba's report from Jan. 29th below): │
│ • Growth has bottomed out │
│ • OPEC is succeeding at rebalancing the oil market. Fiscal adjustment now sufficient to safeguard stability at │
│ cUS$60/bbl. │
│ • Equity strategy: remain positive, outlook gains momentum - We retain our positive view on the Saudi market as │
│ we see strong earnings │
│ momentum as well as increasing appetite for Saudi equities amongst global investors: │
│ Best way to access the trade: IX/MAP (MSCI Saudi Provisional Index) │
│ • 32-name MSCI-owned index, that will rebalance into the full MSCI EM index upon inclusion │

│ 10 single stock names to own in Saudi │
│ • Al Rajhi: BAML Top pick for 2018 » Largest bank in Saudi » Reflation trade beneficiary » We see the bank │
│ continuing to deliver strong earnings momentum on │
│ the back of: (1) Stand out NIM expansion given a unique cost of funding position and further policy rate hikes │
│ (2) a continued normalization in asset quality │
│ driving CoR lower; (3) Higher loan growth than peers as it benefits from consumer loan growth (particularly │
│ housing) whilst taking share in the corporate market and │
│ (4) Al Rajhi is set to be a key beneficiary from the potential forthcoming Saudi index inclusions. │
│ • NCB: We see NCB as a key beneficiary from the economic diversification program the Government has introduced. │
│ Its large balance sheet and resulting ability to │
│ finance mega projects should allow it to capture market share in the coming years. Further support will come from │
│ having the PIF as a major shareholder. We also see │
│ a sublime margin outlook given NCB's ability to benefit from rising interest rates and bond yields. │
│ • SABIC: Expect strong earnings momentum in FY18E driven by robust product prices as well as solid plant │
│ operations. View company's intent to expand │
│ internationally as a catalyst for unlocking balance sheet value. The company is expected to be the largest │
│ constituent of Saudi MSCI EM Index (-16%). Shares trade at a │
│ 2018E EV/EBITDA of 7.4x, —20% discount vs global peers. │
│ • Yansab: Given robust MEG pricing outlook (40% of profits, prices up 18% YTD) providing a healthy tailwind to │
│ earnings this year, we expect an attractive dividend │
│ yield of 6% (top quartile globally) in FY18E/19E well supported by FCF yields of 9% and a net cash position. │
│ • SIC: One of the main beneficiaries of index inflows into Saudi. STC has finally improved management │
│ representation to investors with the departure of the │
│ previous IR, and new team in place. Significant government receivables recovery to drive stock price for next two │
│ quarters, while Careem stake can provide some │
│ positive headline risk on valuations. │
│ • Jarir: We like Jarir for its potential to increase its market penetration having increased its store count by │
│ 13% since August 2017 while maintaining its premium │
│ ROE of 53% and attractive dividend. │
│ • Al Tayyar : Stock will see a slew of positive catalysts over the next two quarters, particularly a second │
│ tranche of substantial gov receivable recoveries in Ql. │
│ 130mn SAR loss from associates in 2017 is a one off and should make comps easier this year. Q1 earnings should │
│ see the first earnings growth after a very difficult 2 │
│ years. Makkah real estate REIT will also provide an uplift. │
│ • Al Hokair: has massively under performed in Saudi index and consumer sector and should see substantial │
│ improvement in business in 2018 as LFL turns the │

│ GEMs Paper #31 │
│ Saudi Arabia: growth bull, fiscal bear │
│ 29 January 2018 │
│ Key takeaways │
│ • Growth recovers as high oil prices allow looser fiscal, contain near-term deterioration. Mega-projects offer │
│ upside potential │
│ HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029460 │
│ • The oil price at which reforms now bring imbalances to low mid-single digit levels moves to US$60/bbl, from │
│ US$50/bbl before. │
│ • Earnings momentum, index events make us positive Saudi stocks. Prefer banks, petchems. Top picks: Rajhi, Samba, │
│ Yansab, Sabic │
│ Macro: sweet spot for now │
│ Economic activity has bottomed out as high oil prices are allowing implementation of looser fiscal policy and │
│ containing near-term fiscal │
│ deterioration. The government intends to support activity through a) a more gradual pace of fiscal reforms; b) │
│ introduction of Household/Cost of │
│ Living Allowances and Private Sector Support programs; c) introduction of structural reforms; and, d) the launch │
│ of mega-projects. The latter │
│ provides most upside potential to our average growth projections of 2.2-2.5(Yoyoy. │
│ Fiscal reforms now need US$60/bbl to safeguard stability │
│ The oil price threshold at which the macroeconomic adjustment brings imbalances to low mid-single digit levels │
│ moves to cUS$60/bbl, from our │
│ previous assessmcni of cUS$50/bbl. The revised Fiscal Balance program exposes the budget to volatility in oil │
│ prices. Still, there are four ways in │
│ which authorities can improve on fiscal dynamics: 1) front-loaded energy pricing reform; 2) privatizations; 3) │
│ proceeds from anti-corruption │
│ crackdown; and, 4) phasing out of the Royal Order next year. │
│ Equity strategy: remain positive, outlook gains momentum │
│ We retain our positive view on the Saudi market as we see strong earnings momentum as well as increasing appetite │
│ for Saudi equities amongst │
│ global investors. Our views are based on: (1) attractive valuation, with the Saudi market now trading at a mere │
│ 3% premium to GEMs versus a │
│ historic premium of more than 30%; (2) improving macro fundamentals; (3) the prospect for accelerating earnings, │
│ FCF and dividend growth on the │
│ back of reform programs, an expansionary budget and a more pedestrian pace of austerity implementation; and, (4) │
│ the potential twin index │
│ inclusion events in 2018. │
│ Prefer banks and petchems │
│ Within the Saudi market, our preference lies with companies offering strong earnings and FCF momentum, attractive │
│ valuations and dividend │
│ yields. In this regard, our sector preference is tilted towards the banks and petchems, who we see as key │
│ beneficiaries from the 2018 budget and │
│ revised fiscal balance program. We highlight Al Rajhi & Samba as our top picks amongst the banks, Yansab & SABIC │
│ amongst the petchems. │
│ Elsewhere, given the inflationary pressures on operating costs (e.g. expat levies, rising utility costs), we are │
│ more selective; focusing on names │
│ that are least affected by the regulations and that have attractive company specific growth stories. │
│ Commodities: As good as it gets for OPEC │
│ OPEC is succeeding at rebalancing the oil market. Our supply/demand balances reflect a faster-than-expected │
│ market tightening due to improving │
│ cyclical conditions, cold winter, and OPEC compliance. A gradual OPEC+ deal exit would keep spot and forward │
│ prices in a range with the market │
│ in backwardation, and preserve OPEC's long-run market share. │

│ Opening New MEGA Trade: │
│ Long Saudi Equities ( Buy M1SAP on Swap / Liquidity $100mm a Day) │
│ - Potentially the EM Flow Story of 2018... if FTSE addition is announced on March 28th we expect an inflow of │
│ $5bn on a basket which trades 100mm USD a day (50X ADV)... this is even before MSCI announcement in June │
│ where inflows could be substantially higher │
│ The Most Powerful Macro Trades are when Macro Fundemantals + Flow Meet... This is Saudi in 2018 │
│ Key Points: │
│ 1. Saudi has significantly underperformed Oil by 14% last 6 months. With the recent introduction of the citizens │
│ account programme, │
│ subsidy cuts, pushing out the budget balance to 2023, and the news of increased handouts, Saudi should re │
│ correlate with oil and move higher │
│ from here. │
│ 2. Saudi equities remain under-owned globally --) foreign ownership of Saudi equities is at 1.3% vs Russia 70%, │
│ Turkey 55%, South Africa │
│ 50%, Brazil 45%, UAE 20%, Qatar 10% │
│ 3. Good liquidity vs other EMs but volume trading at lows relative to history -4 Tadawul ADV close to all-time │
│ lows at $1bn (10yr range is │
│ $1-8bn) │
│ 4. Major index events in 2018/19 with FTSE announcement on 28th March next catalyst-4 FTSE announcement could │
│ trigger inflows of up │
│ to $5bn . Combined with the MSCI announcement later this year, potential active and passive inflows can total │
│ $15-$40bn. So the potential of at │
│ least $20bn inflows on a basket which trades 100mm USD a day (200 Days Volume) ? │
│ 5. In comparison, during the MSCI UAE and Qatar inclusions, UAE was trading 10% below historic avg @14x PE and │
│ rerated to 22x into MSCI │
│ EM inclusion with Dubai up +110% (vs +47% prey year). Qatar was trading inline with historic avg @11x PE and │
│ rerated to 18x MSCI EM inclusion │
│ with Qatar up +60% (vs +9% prey year) │
│ 6. Saudi risk indicators at 2015 pre-crisis levels 4 Saudi 5yr CDS is trading at 76 vs 40-210 3yr range; SAR 2yr │
│ fwd suggests market is less │
│ worried about depeg fears and forward points can be used as a macro hedge │
│ 7. Valuations & dividend yields remain attractive 4 Market trades at a 10% discount (13.5x) to its historic PE │
│ (Saudi PE range is 10- │
│ 26x). Avg dividend yield is 3.6% with 45 stocks yield more than 4%. │

│ Will Cohen Cooperate? Tenuous Finances May Provide Crucial Clues │
│ 2018-04-27 08:00:00.2 GMT │
│ By Shahien Nasiripour and Caleb Melby │
│ (Bloomberg) -- In the two weeks since federal agents seized │
│ the files of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's personal │
│ attorney and fixer, a question has hovered: Will Cohen cooperate │
│ with investigators? │
│ His decision could depend in part on whether he can readily │
│ shoulder the enormous legal fees required to fight a federal │
│ probe of this magnitude. │
│ At first blush, Cohen looks like a pretty rich man. He │
│ drives a white Rolls Royce, sports a $50,000 watch and owns a │
│ fair amount of Manhattan real estate. │
│ But just as his loyalty to Trump is coming under scrutiny, │
│ a more tenuous financial picture is emerging. A taxi business he │
│ and his wife built is deeply in debt and losing money daily, his │
│ commercial real estate is throwing off only modest income, and │
│ his legal and consulting work is on hold while he remains under │
│ investigation. │
│ Cohen declined repeated requests to comment. │
│ The owners of 32 New York City taxi licenses -- known as │
│ medallions -- he and his wife, Laura, took out at least 16 loans │
│ based on their once-soaring value, liens show. With the rise of │
│ Uber and Lyft, the price of a medallion has fallen from more │
│ than $1 million to around $163,000 in the past four years. │
│ Income from the taxi business has plummeted, and millions of │
│ dollars of the Cohens' loans went under water. Their bank said │
│ in a November public filing that it had loans out to three taxi │
│ borrowers, and all were at high risk of default. │
│ Suspended Medallions │
│ Unpaid taxes and fines have piled up at the Cohen taxi │
│ companies, triggering a suspension of about half of the │
│ medallions, city records show, squeezing cash flow. │
│ Whatever monthly income the cabs once produced almost │
│ certainly fell well short of the debt payments owed to Sterling │
│ National Bank, their Montebello, New York-based lender. Sterling │
│ has foreclosed on operators in similar situations and sued them │
│ but appears to be taking a less-confrontational approach with │
│ the Cohens. On Tuesday, the bank agreed to new loans for their │
│ companies and to Cohen personally, public filings show. Sterling │
│ declined to comment. │
│ The taxi business isn't the only part of Cohen's empire │
│ that's suffering. The law firm Squire Patton Boggs said it ended │
│ its "strategic alliance" with Cohen after law enforcement raided │
│ his offices, and the rest of his legal work could decline for │
│ the same reason. Cohen, 51, makes others' ugly problems │
│ disappear, a practice that was previously lucrative. Essential │
│ Consultants LLC, a company affiliated with Cohen, was paid │
│ $250,000 after he negotiated a $1.6 million payment to a former │
│ Playboy model on behalf of Republican National Committee │
│ official Elliott Broidy, according to a Wall Street Journal │
│ report. │
│ Sean Hannity │
│ Cohen has said in court that he had only three legal │
│ clients during the past year: Broidy, Trump and talk-show host │
│ Sean Hannity. He gave seven others "strategic advice and │
│ business consulting." │
│ Last month Cohen said he borrowed from his home-equity │
│ credit line to make a $130,000 payment in October 2016 to Stormy │
│ Daniels, an adult-film star who says she had sex with Trump. │
│ In a Thursday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends," Trump │
│ distanced himself from Cohen, saying he did only "a tiny, tiny │
│ little fraction" of Trump's legal work, but it included │
│ representation "on this crazy Stormy Daniels deal." │
│ Russian Interference │
│ Cohen is under investigation for bank fraud and violating │
│ campaign-finance law. But his decade at Trump's side as his │
│ lawyer and enforcer could yield information he might trade to │
│ investigators looking into the Trump campaign and Russia's │
│ interference in the U.S. election. │
│ Still, if he chooses to defend himself, Cohen does have │
│ assets. Companies he signs for own two investment properties │
│ purchased in 2015. The larger one, with 92 units on New York's │
│ Upper East Side, is 38 percent owned by Cohen's companies. The │
│ businesses also appear to be the sole owner of a downtown │
│ building with 20 units. │
│ Together they likely generate less than $1 million in │
│ annual net income for Cohen's companies after accounting for │
│ partner interests, expenses and financing costs, data compiled │
│ by Bloomberg show. Debt against the buildings is low, meaning │
│ that Cohen could tap them for cash. Last October, the Cohens │
│ sold a unit at Trump World Tower, near the United Nations, for │
│ $3.3 million. │
│ Cohen has been a savvy property investor. He previously │
│ owned four buildings in need of repairs in Lower Manhattan, │
│ rehabilitated them and sold them for $32 million in 2014, more │
│ than doubling his initial investment. │
│ 'Cautious, Methodical' │
│ Richard Guarino, a partner at Friedman-Roth Realty, has │
│ worked with Cohen on a handful of deals, including the purchase │
│ of his Upper East Side building. As a real estate investor, │
│ Cohen is "cautious, methodical, smart and, I think, │
│ conservative," Guarino says. │
│ Cohen's current business partners are a family of New York │
│ real estate lawyers headed by Herbert Chaves. The family, having │
│ just sold a plot of Brooklyn land to a partnership including the │
│ family company of Jared Kushner, were looking to reinvest their │
│ gains when they bought Cohen's Lower Manhattan buildings in │
│ 2014. Months later, they partnered with Cohen to buy the Upper │
│ East Side property, 330 East 63rd Street. Guarino, a broker on │
│ the deal, says he dealt only with Cohen, who served as a │
│ representative for the investor group even though the Chaves │
│ family companies hold the majority stake. │
│ Purchased for $58 million, the squat, brown-brick seven- │
│ story building has only a $17 million mortgage, meaning Cohen's │
│ share has at least $15 million of equity he could borrow against │
│ if his partners allowed him to do so. Another property at 133 │
│ Avenue D, not previously reported to be owned by Cohen, has at │
│ least $5 million of equity not tapped by a mortgage. But more │
│ debt means more risk and could hurt Cohen later if the taxi │
│ business doesn't turn around to help cover higher interest │
│ payments. │
│ Park Avenue │
│ One property that may prove harder to extract cash from: │
│ Cohen's palatial Park Avenue home. Purchased for $5 million in │
│ 2005, the sprawling 10th-floor unit used to be three separate │
│ apartments and has four bedrooms. It could be worth $8 million │
│ or more, based on comparable sales. │
│ In late 2015, the Cohens moved the property into a type of │
│ trust designed to limit tax exposure when transferring property │
│ to heirs. The trust structure has tax consequences for typical │
│ mortgages, but those could be dodged if the Cohens took out an │
│ interest-only loan. │
│ In February 2016, Laura Cohen, in her role as a trustee of │
│ the new entity, did just that, taking out a revolving $500,000 │
│ home-equity line of credit against the property from First │
│ Republic Bank. It was the first time the family had borrowed │
│ against the property since a loan of more than $2 million 11 │
│ years earlier when they bought it, property records show. │
│ There are also Cohen's in-laws, who may pitch in to a │
│ legal-defense effort. Fima and Ania Shusterman, who haven't │
│ responded to requests for comment, emigrated from Ukraine and │
│ built their own taxi empire over decades while helping Cohen │
│ expand his across New York and Chicago. They own three units in │
│ Trump World Tower. In an indication of their willingness to help │
│ those close to them, the couple have lent $20 million to another │
│ Ukranian couple in the taxi business, Semyon and Yasya Shtayner │
│ and their companies. │

│ AT&T confirms it paid Trump lawyer │
│ Michael Cohen for 'insights' on │
│ administration │
│ 11:57 AM ET Fri, 4 May 2018 01:18 │
│ Getty Images │
│ Michael Cohen, longtime personal lawyer and confidante for President Donald Trump, │
│ arrives at the United States District Court Southern District of New York on April 26, 2018 │
│ in New York City. │
│ Telecommunications giant AT&T said Tuesday night that it had paid President Donald │
│ Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen for "insights" about the Trump administration. │
│ AT&T's admission came after a lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels claimed the company, │
│ drug giant Novartis and a Russian oligarch had all made payments to Cohen's shell │
│ company. │
│ Daniels lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said AT&T had made four separate payments of $50,000 │
│ apiece to Cohen's company, for a total of $200,000 in late 2017 and into early 2018. │
│ That company, Essential Consultants, was created by Cohen in October 2016 and soon after │
│ was used to make a $130,000 hush-money payment to Daniels. │
│ In a prepared statement to CNBC, AT&T said Cohen's company "was one of several firms │
│ we engaged in early 2017 to provide insights into understanding the new administration." │
│ "They did no legal or lobbying work for us, and the contract ended in December 2017," │
│ AT&T said. │
│ The company did not say how much it had paid Cohen, who was the president's personal │
│ lawyer at the time. │
│ AT&T is in the midst of pursuing an $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner. The U.S. │
│ Justice Department has sued to block that deal. │
│ In a report on Cohen's company, Avenatti's law firm said that Novartis in late 2017 and early │
│ 2018 made four separate payments to Essential Consultants totaling nearly $400,000. │
│ "Following these payments, reports surfaced that Mr. Trump took a dinner with the │
│ incoming CEO of Novartis before Mr. Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in │
│ Davos, Switzerland in late January 2018," Avenatti's report said. │
│ That CEO, Vas Narasimhan, was joined with a group of other companies' executives at that │
│ dinner. │
│ A Novartis spokesperson said in a statement that "any agreements with Essential Consultants │
│ were entered before our current CEO taking office in February of this year and have │
│ expired. │
│ Avenatti's report says another company, Korea Aerospace Industries LTD, paid Essential │
│ Consultants $150,000 in November 2017. │
│ Avenatti's client Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was paid $130,000 by │

│ By Morgan Gstalteduly 07, 2018 - 10:38 PM EDT │
│ A Richmond, Va., bookstore owner said he called the police on Saturday after former White │
│ House chief strategist Stephen Bannon was confronted in his store. │
│ Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that a woman │
│ called Bannon a "piece of trash." │
│ The woman then left the store after Cooke said he called 911. │
│ "Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked │
│ her to leave, and she wouldn't. And I said, 'I'm going to call the police if you don't,' and I │
│ went to call the police and she left," Cooke said. "And that's the end of the story." │
│ Bannon grew up in Richmond, the newspaper noted. │
│ The Richmond Police Department confirmed the call was made but the call was canceled │
│ before officers responded. │
│ "We are a bookshop. Bookshops are all about ideas and tolerating different opinions and not │
│ about verbally assaulting somebody, which is what was happening," Cooke said. │

│ Congressional candidate compares Melania │
│ Trump to prostitute │
│ By Chris Perez │
│ A congressional candidate from Oregon has caused an uproar on social media after │
│ comparing first lady Melania Trump to a prostitute. │
│ "Did you know the First Lady works by the hour?" tweeted independent House candidate │
│ Mark Roberts on Monday, using the hashtags "#thinkdirty" and "#hoebag." │
│ Twitter users were quick to blast the politician for his crude comment, with some calling on │
│ him to pull out of the 2nd Congressional District race for Republican incumbent Greg │
│ Walden's seat. │
│ "Very unprofessional on your part," tweeted one person. "Grow up and stick to the issues, so │
│ the voters in your district can decide on your stand regarding the issues." │
│ Another added, "Wow no class Mark. You're definitely using liberal tactics and it makes me │
│ wonder if you really are a conservative at all." │
│ Roberts sparked the social media storm on Monday afternoon after replying to a tweet from │
│ Charlie Kirk, president of the right-wing youth organization Turning Point USA. Kirk had │
│ compared Melania's staff numbers to those of former first lady Michelle Obama. │
│ "Did you know: There are thirty-nine fewer staffers dedicated to The First Lady of the │
│ United States (FLOTUS) than under Obama," Kirk tweeted, referencing data reported in │
│ January. │
│ "There are only five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. forty-four staffers who served │
│ Michelle Obama," he said. │
│ Political experts told The Oregonian on Tuesday that Roberts' reply completely railroaded │
│ his chances of unseating Walden in a race that was already said to be a longshot. │
│ "If he wins, I'll sell my house and donate to charity," joked Jim Moore, political science │
│ professor at Pacific University. │
│ Roberts is apparently known for making crude and outlandish remarks on Twitter, most of │
│ which have been aimed at politicians. │
│ "#NikkiHaley very hot," he once tweeted, in reference to a TV appearance she made last │
│ year. │
│ "Important stuff," Roberts added. │
│ Describing Illinois Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris, the independent candidate tweeted: │
│ "Hot, tough & smart!" │
│ Commenting on a video featuring President Trump, he said: "It looks like he's morphing │
│ into a woman, get that man a haircut and non fat chocolate cake!" │
│ In response to the social media backlash he's been receiving, Roberts refused to apologize │
│ and instead cited the Constitution. │
│ "It's that whole 1st amendment thing," he tweeted on Tuesday, along with an official │
│ explanation from Twitter as to why his tweet about Melania hasn't been taken down. │
│ "We have investigated the reported content and could not identify any violations," a │
│ spokesperson said. "Accordingly, we have not taken any action at this time." │

│ Steve Bannon almost appeared in Michael │
│ Moore's 'Fahrenheit 11/9' │
│ Steve Bannon was invited to be in Michael Moore's latest documentary, "Fahrenheit 11/9," │
│ and while the former White House strategist declined to go on camera, he did meet with │
│ Moore for two hours, the filmmaker revealed after the film's NYC premiere. │
│ After a Lincoln Center screening, Moore, at a Tavern on the Green party, revealed Bannon │
│ was almost in the film. "We wanted Steve Bannon to answer that first question in the film: │
│ 'How the f—k did this happen?' " the liberal gadfly told guests. │
│ "It took a long time. We finally got him to come over, no cameras ... He said he wanted to │
│ talk to me first. And we talked to him for two hours." │
│ Ultimately, Bannon decided not to go on camera, but the conversation had a seismic impact │
│ on the finished film anyway. │
│ "He said something very profound to us, and it changed us and it changed the course of the │
│ film," Moore said of Bannon. "I asked him, 'How did you pull this [Trump's election] │
│ off?' And he said, 'It's a very easy answer. Our side, we go for the head wound. Your side, │
│ you have pillow fights.'" │
│ Moore continued, "That so f—ked us up to hear him say that ... watching him smirk as he │
│ said it. As soon as he left, we decided to watch the film... and put the pillow fight filter." │
│ One example Moore gave of a change to his film post-Bannon was a line about news │
│ networks being run by men, from "most" to "all." │
│ "It's amazing how we talk as liberals. We always want to be nice and maybe be fair," Moore │
│ explained. │
│ The film also jabs at the media, highlighting major newsmen who have turned out to be │
│ predators, including Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose. │
│ A spy told us, "Everyone in the theater hissed when Les Moonves' face came up on-screen." │
│ Moore also held a Q&A after the screening. │
│ The movie's already premiered in Moore's hometown of Flint, Mich., and played the │
│ Toronto International Film Festival. │

│ The 7.8% intraday peak-to-trough decline in US equities between September 21st and October 11th │
│ has rattled investor confidence. Numerous headlines of stock market "carnage" have further eroded │
│ their confidence. As a result, some of our clients have asked whether this drop signifies the beginning │
│ of the end of a nearly 10-year bull market. │
│ We do not think so. So far, this pullback is actually smaller than the two prior downdrafts we │
│ experienced in late January and in mid-March, neither of which derailed the US economy nor the bull │
│ market. The steady factors we highlighted in our annual Outlook—such as economic growth, benign │
│ inflation, robust earnings, and low probability of recession—have not dissipated. Furthermore, while │
│ the investor focus has shifted to the risks around the unsteady undertow, most of these factors are, │
│ on balance, less concerning today than they were at the beginning of 2018. │
│ Of course, that is not the case across all geopolitical concerns. While trade tensions with Mexico and │
│ Canada have abated, those with China have certainly deteriorated and will continue to do so for the │
│ foreseeable future. But, in aggregate, there has been more improvement than deterioration, in our │
│ view. │
│ In this Sunday Night Insight, we will provide a brief update on the steady factors and unsteady │
│ undertow. We then conclude with our view that the steady factors will likely continue to win this tug-of- │
│ war between the two. │
│ Steady Factors │
│ While the headlines warn of equity market carnage, the facts do not support such alarming headlines. │
│ The S&P 500 is still up 5.1% on a year-to-date total return basis and financial conditions remain at │
│ easier levels today than they did when the Federal Reserve began this tightening cycle in 2015, │
│ despite the recent decline in equities and 0.76 percentage point increase in 10-year Treasury yields │
│ year-to-date. Most importantly, as highlighted by Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, we are │
│ in "extraordinary times" of steady growth and low inflation. │
│ Economic Growth │
│ Economic growth remains firm in the US. Both the Institute for Supply Management leading indexes │
│ for manufacturing and non-manufacturing remain at very strong levels. Current activity indicators of │
│ real GDP growth average about 3.5% for the third quarter and closer to 4% for the fourth quarter. │
│ Forecasts for third quarter real GDP average 3.8% and fourth quarter forecasts are about │
│ 2.8%. While growth is slowing from the 4.2% estimate of the second quarter, it is still forecast to be │
│ above trend and we believe a modest slowdown is certainly preferable to continued growth at a pace │
│ that was likely unsustainable and possibly even inflationary. │
│ In aggregate, the economic data since the intraday peak of US equities on September 21st does not │
│ point to any worrisome slowdown in GDP growth or the pace of employment. In fact, while the recent │
│ 134K increase in non-farm payrolls was less than expectations, revisions to earlier months offset the │
│ modest headline miss and the unemployment rate still fell to 3.7%. Furthermore, this 134k increase │
│ is above the estimated sustainable level of employment growth based on population growth and │
│ changes in labor force participation, which our colleagues in Goldman Investment Research estimate │
│ is around 96k. Importantly, a modest slowdown in the 3-month average of non-farm payrolls, which │
│ currently stands at a very robust 190k jobs, is more likely to keep inflation in check. │
│ Robust Earnings and Buybacks │
│ Continued above-trend economic growth is supporting solid corporate fundamentals. While many are │
│ quick to dismiss this strength to US tax reform, it is only half the story. Earnings before interest and │
│ taxes (EBIT) expanded by a very healthy 12% in the first half of this year and are expected to grow by │
│ double-digits again in the third quarter. This robust organic profit growth is also fueling sizable │
│ corporate buybacks—a key source of equity market support. Our colleagues on the corporate │
│ buyback desk expect the highest dollar amount for buybacks on record in 2018, with $1tn in │
│ authorizations and $850bn in executed buybacks. │
│ Even so, such robust earnings growth has begun to foster concern that we have reached a peak in │
│ EPS growth. While we do expect the pace of growth to slow next year, a local peak in earnings │
│ growth has not signified an imminent peak in the S&P 500 historically. In fact, about 3/4ths of market │
│ peaks occurred more than two years after the peak in the growth rate of earnings. Moreover, stock │
│ market returns have remained healthy during this period, with high odds of a positive outcome over │
│ the subsequent 6-24 months (see Exhibit 1). In short, the market ultimately follows the path of │
│ earnings and while their growth rate may be slowing, their absolute level is still rising. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, Bloomberg. │
│ Inflation and Interest Rates │
│ Inflation data has remained at relatively low levels for all of 2018, as shown in Exhibits 2 and 3. In │
│ fact, some of the most recent data released in October have ticked slightly lower. Average hourly │
│ earnings dropped to 2.8% from the prior month's level of 2.9%. Headline CPI dropped to 2.3% from │
│ 2.7% and Core CPI ex-food and energy remain at a low 2.2%, unchanged from the prior month. The │
│ Federal Reserve's preferred inflation indicator, Core PCE, also remains low at 2.0% which is in line │
│ with the Federal Reserve's target, and unchanged from the prior month. │
│ While 10-year Treasury yields have risen by 0.76% (or 76 basis points) over the course of 2018, we │
│ do not think the resulting 3.2% yield is enough to derail US economic growth. Keep in mind that most │
│ of the recent increase since late August was due to stronger real growth rather than runaway inflation │
│ expectations. We expect interest rates to range between 3.0% and 3.5% in 2019 with a midpoint of │
│ 3.25%, barring any major geopolitical conflicts such as one between US and China and or escalating │
│ conflicts in the Middle East. │
│ Note: Average hourly earnings is available for the private sector starting in 2006 and is released │
│ in the monthly employment report. The BLS hourly earnings data for production and nonsupervisory │
│ employees, -80% of the private sector, is available back to 1964. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, Haver. │

│ Of course, the recent backup in interest rates is providing equity investors with another source of │
│ angst. Yet our work suggests there are several reasons why rates could continue to rise before │
│ becoming a material headwind for stocks. First, the 4% trend growth rate of nominal US GDP— │
│ reflecting 2% real growth and 2% inflation—remains comfortably above the 10-year Treasury yield of │
│ 3.2% (i.e. the cost of borrowing). Stocks typically struggle when the cost of borrowing exceeds the │
│ nominal growth of the economy (see Exhibit 4). Second, the recent backup in interest rates was │
│ driven primarily by improving real growth expectations, not higher inflation. This distinction is critical, │
│ because higher rates in response to improving real growth tend to benefit earnings sufficiently to │
│ overcome the downward pressure they place on valuation multiples. Finally, it will take a number of │
│ years before higher rates meaningfully impact aggregate S&P 500 interest expense, considering 91`)/0 │
│ of S&P 500 debt is fixed-rate and only 13% matures over the next two years. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group. Bloomberg. │
│ Low Probability of Recession │
│ We continue to maintain a low, 10%, probability of recession driven by: │
│ • The positive trend of leading economic indicators │
│ • Low levels of inflation │
│ • The continued slow but steady pace of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. We believe that │
│ Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's recent commentary indicates that the FOMC will continue to be │
│ driven by data and financial market conditions. Their stated goal is to extend this expansion │
│ "indefinitely." While the Federal Reserve dots point towards four more interest rate hikes by the end │
│ of 2019, we do not think that such hikes materially increase the odds of a recession in an economy │
│ that continues to grow at levels that are generally regarded as above trend growth in the US. │
│ Recent steepening of the yield curve. We have highlighted two measures of the yield curve as sign- │
│ posts we watch as an early harbinger of a recession. Both have steepened since their lows, as shown │
│ in Exhibits 5 and 6. │

│ Unsteady Undertow │
│ As market observers attempt to explain the recent drop in US equities, the risks of geopolitical factors │
│ have garnered considerable attention. Potential US retaliation over the recent disappearance of a │
│ Saudi journalist has only added fuel to the fire of worries given the risk that oil exports could be used │
│ as a political weapon in a world with tighter oil supply thanks to impending US sanctions on Iran. │
│ As we review the geopolitical developments of 2018, it is clear that some of the risks have abated │
│ while others have increased. With the exception of a significant spike in oil prices due to the impact of │
│ sanctions on Iran or any escalation in US-Saudi tensions, we believe that the net impact of these │
│ shifts is not material enough to derail the US economic expansion or bull market. │
│ Risks that have abated │
│ Mexico: the election of the left-of-center populist president (Andres Manuel Lopes Obrador referred │
│ to as AMLO) has reduced fear of a reversal of recent reforms. While concerns about fiscal profligacy │
│ and reverting to a nationalist energy policy that reduces oil production may reappear, AMLO does not │
│ take office until the end of the year. │
│ Brazil: The strong showing of Jair Bolsonaro, a law-and-order former army captain, in the first round │
│ of elections and the latest data that points to a 75% probability of Bolsonaro becoming the next │
│ president of Brazil has provided a boost to the Brazilian real. His current standing has substantially │
│ reduced the election of another left-wing worker's party candidate who would keep the status quo in │
│ Brazil. │
│ NAFTA: The agreement on a revised NAFTA deal between the US, Canada, and Mexico on │
│ September 30th meaningfully reduced the risk of the US withdrawal from NAFTA. While the new │
│ agreement, US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), has not been ratified by the Mexican and │
│ Canadian national parliaments nor by the US congress, and a divided congress after the mid-term │
│ elections may lead to some uncertainty, we believe it is likely to be ratified. │
│ US-EU Trade Friction: Tension between the US and European Union eased significantly after a July │
│ 2018 deal between European Commission President Juncker and President Trump to "work together │
│ toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial goods". The │
│ coast is not totally clear given the threat of auto tariffs, but we do not anticipate any significant │
│ increase in trade rhetoric in the near future. │
│ Risks that have increased │
│ China: The trade war with China continues to escalate and as we have stated before, we believe that │
│ it cannot be resolved simply by China importing more US goods. The issues range from: │
│ • A large and growing trade deficit with China │
│ • Industrial policies & unfair trade practices that reduce competition, such as subsidies and │
│ "dumping good at below-market prices" │
│ • "Made in China 2025" policies which "harm US companies" │
│ • Uneven tariff rates and the banning of some US goods │
│ • Intellectual property theft │
│ • Forced technology transfer │
│ • Strategic US technology acquisitions │
│ • Outright cyber theft │
│ • Foreign ownership restrictions │
│ Recent headlines that the trade war may be escalating to a cold war are not without merit, as we │
│ believe that US-China relations are changing on a more structural basis and will have a longer-term │
│ impact. On a short-term basis, however, US exposure to China is limited with merchandise exports, │
│ corporate profits and foreign claims at about 1% of GDP. As seen in Exhibit 7, the Chinese equity │
│ markets have also deteriorated much more significantly than US markets in 2018. │
│ Of course, specific stocks with greater exposure to China through higher sales have underperformed │
│ the S&P 500 by about 6% since the latest tariffs were imposed on $200bn of Chinese products, as │
│ shown in Exhibit 8. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, Bloomberg. │
│ Note: High China sales basket is aggregated and defined by Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, Bloomberg. │
│ Italy: Concerns about Italy have risen to peak levels since the election of a populist government in │
│ May and credit default swaps have increased to reflect these higher risks. The government's │
│ expansive fiscal plan, with a proposed budget deficit of 2.4% of GDP, may be rejected by the │
│ European Union commission and result in rating downgrades. While the EU is likely to manage this │
│ situation in its usual incremental and reactive way, the possibility of new elections in late 2019 │
│ reigniting euro viability questions will keep Italy on our radar screens. │
│ BREXIT: It is hard to know whether Brexit risks are unchanged, higher or lower given the minute by │
│ minute headlines out of the UK. Our base case remains that while the internal politics of the │
│ Conservative party will keep uncertainty at elevated levels and the European Union will not │
│ compromise on its key tenants of free movement of goods, services, and people, the two sides will │
│ agree to a deal that defers the difficult choices on the shape of a final agreement with the EU until late │
│ 2020. │
│ The Middle East: Risks in the Middle East have not changed substantially with respect to Iraq, Syria, │
│ or even the impositions of sanctions on Iran. However, the disappearance of the Saudi journalist who │
│ entered the Saudi Embassy in Turkey on October 2nd has the potential to raise risks to global oil │
│ supply. While there has been a global uproar, it is not yet clear whether the US will impose serious │
│ sanctions or Saudi Arabia would retaliate by reducing oil exports if the US finds sufficient evidence │
│ regarding the alleged killing of the Saudi journalist. The recession in 1973-74 was partly due to the │
│ quadrupling of oil prices due to the Arab Oil Embargo. Later in that decade, the Iranian Revolution │
│ and the Iran-Iraq War also led to a 2.5 times spike in oil prices that, along with Federal Reserve │
│ tightening by then Chairman Paul Volcker, led to a US recession. While we think it is unlikely that │
│ Saudi Arabia would react so aggressively in the face of serious US reprisals, we note that it remains a │
│ real risk. │
│ Some Notable Observations │
│ US Equities Have Been Shunned All Along │
│ In both our 2018 Outlook and mid-year update, we highlighted the surprising absence of inflows into │
│ US equities based on flows into mutual funds and Exchange-Traded Funds. As shown in Exhibit 9, │
│ flows into US equities were negative in 2018, even before the recent downdraft. In fact, US equities │
│ have seen outflows of $81 billion through August 2018 (based on the most recent comprehensive │
│ data), while non-US developed equities and emerging market equities have had inflows of $72 billion │
│ and $20 billion respectively. This is further evidence of our view that while sentiment and short term │
│ positioning among speculators and hedge fund managers shifts frequently, more stable investors │
│ have shunned US equities during this long bull market in favor of other developed and emerging │
│ market equities and global bonds. │
│ This steady outflow of assets from US equities has been offset by record levels of stock buybacks by │
│ US companies given high levels of profitability and incremental cash from repatriation of overseas │
│ earnings, as mentioned above. │
│ Note: Based on ICI weekly estimates through August 30,2018. Flows exclude reinvested dividends. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, ICI. │
│ Some Headwinds Facing the FANG MAN Stocks Will Persist │
│ The basket of FANGMAN (i.e. Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Nvidia) │
│ stocks have dropped across the board from their respective peak price levels, with Facebook's 29% │
│ decline the largest and Apple's 4% decline the smallest among the group. Even so, each of the │
│ stocks, with the exception of Facebook, still have positive year-to-date returns and have outperformed │
│ the S&P 500, as shown in Exhibit 10. │
│ This is not a recommendation to buy or sell individual securities but rather an assertion that these │
│ stocks represent a small portion of S&P 500 earnings. Anyone looking to buy or sell single name │
│ equities should consult Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, Bloomberg. │
│ Nevertheless, we believe that some of the headwinds that have plagued this sector will continue. │
│ These include: │
│ • Data privacy issues impacting a broad range of companies, including Facebook, Google, Twitter, │
│ Alipay and Tencent. │
│ • High likelihood of greater regulatory scrutiny in the US2 and Europe as policy makers increasingly │
│ believe that these companies will not address "the privacy and security issues of social media │
│ users"3 on their own. │
│ • Increased focus by ESG investors (Environment, Social, and Governance) that many of the │
│ technology and social media companies are falling short on social and governance issues. │
│ While this basket of stocks may or may not lead the market in the future, it is important to note that │
│ they represent only 10% of S&P 500 earnings. │
│ Investment Implications │
│ The recent market downdraft has understandably rekindled fears that the longest bull market in │
│ history is coming to an end. While there are no certainties in investing, we do not think the odds │
│ support that conclusion based on our read of the steady and unsteady factors discussed above. Keep │
│ in mind that about 75% of historical US bear markets—defined here as equity market declines of 20% │
│ or more—have occurred during economic recessions. In fact, US equity returns have remained │
│ favorable until about five to six months prior to the onset of recession, highlighting the penalty for │
│ prematurely exiting the market (see Exhibit 11). With only 10% odds of recession over the next year, │
│ we think the economic backdrop remains favorable for stocks. │
│ Source: Investment Strategy Group, Bloomberg. │
│ Of course, none of the supportive factors discussed above precludes further bouts of equity volatility. │
│ As we highlighted at the beginning of the year, the historical probability of a 5% or greater correction │
│ from current valuation levels was 96%. Yet these statistics alone do not justify underweighting │
│ equities, since such pullbacks often occur after sizable equity rallies, as this year reminds us. │
│ Moreover, such pullbacks are quite normal historically. After all, stocks have suffered a median of two │
│ pullbacks of at least 5% and one of at least 10% per calendar year in the post-WWII period, leaving │
│ both the frequency and magnitude of this year's dips in line with past experience. Most importantly, │
│ years that experienced a similar number of pullbacks as 2018 nonetheless ended with a median gain │
│ of 6% and had 77% odds of a positive return. │
│ Conclusion │
│ Although we have painted a less alarmist view of recent market weakness, we are by no means │
│ Pollyannaish. While bull markets do not die of old age, they do become more susceptible to ailments │
│ over time. Yet as we survey the tug of war between the steady factors and the unsteady undertow, │
│ we do not think the balance of risks is strong enough to topple the ongoing US expansion and the │
│ continued growth of corporate earnings it supports. │
│ That said, this viewpoint does not preclude further market volatility and the market may still make new │
│ lows if the current downdraft persists. But history suggests the bull market is likely to continue until │
│ about 5-6 months prior to the end of this economic expansion. Thus, it will take a significant increase │
│ in the odds of an imminent recession to provide the trigger—that has been lacking thus far—to │
│ tactically underweight equities. In the interim, we continue to recommend that clients maintain their │
│ strategic allocation to US equities. │

│ A new book claims Jeffrey Epstein played a key role in a shady Palm Beach real estate deal between President │
│ Donald Trump and a Russian oligarch. │
│ Michael Wolff's forthcoming book, "Siege," details the 2004 property deal that involved the future president, │
│ Deutsche Bank, a child predator and an ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, reported The Guardian. │
│ ADVERTISING │
│ According to Wolff's account, Epstein showed his friend Trump a $55 million mansion he planned to buy, but │
│ Trump instead went behind his back to buy the foreclosed property for about $40 million. │
│ Epstein didn't believe Trump could raise that much money on his own, through an entity called Trump │
│ Properties LLC that was entirely financed by Deutsche Bank, Wolff wrote. │
│ The billionaire financier knew Trump had been loaning out his name in real estate deals for a fee, and he │
│ suspected the freshly minted reality TV star was fronting for the mansion's real owners. │
│ 74-.PUP. │
│ Epstein threatened to expose the deal until he found himself under investigation by Palm Beach police for child │
│ sex abuse and human trafficking, and he eventually served 13 months in county jail as part of a controversial │
│ plea agreement brokered by Trump's future Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. │
│ Trump later put the mansion on the market for $125 million, despite making only minor improvements to the │
│ property. │
│ It was purchased for $96 million by Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Kremlin-linked industrialist — which meant Trump │
│ made $55 million on the deal despite risking none of his own money. │
│ Wolff offers two possible theories for the deal. │
│ The author suspects that Trump may have earned a fee for hiding a shadow owner who possibly was funneled │
│ cash by Rybolovlev for reasons beyond the property's value. │
│ Or, Wolff theorizes, Rybolovlev essentially bought the house from himself, with Trump as an intermediary, to │
│ launder ill-gotten money. │
│ "This," Wolff wrote, "was Donald Trump's world of real estate." │
│ Rybolovlev tore down the mansion in 2016 and sold off the property as three lots for less than the $115 million │
│ he had invested in it. │
